What people planning on using to keep the leather seats in good condition? I want to make sure they don't split/crack over time and most importantly the white, stays white. It's my DD.

Thanks!

I use Kali leather life.

So far, my daughter got a blue ball point ink mark on one and I got a spot of blood on one. Both came off, although it took some work. I attribute it to the leather life keeping the leather supple.

I put it on daily for the first week. You can see it soak in. The weekly for a couple months. Then regular intervals when I clean the car, about every week and a half to two weeks after that. Never had a crack on prior cars and really don't even get wrinkles. Stays pliable and supple.

Glad to finally see someone else DDing their LE!

Cquartz and swissvax for maintenance. Yes it cost some money, but man is it worth it.

I used swissvax initially to treat and clean the leather then sealed it with cquartz. Once the cquartz wears out, 5-6 months, I will re apply swissvax to clean and condition and re-seal.

What ever conditioner you use, leave the windows open a day or two if possible and always buff with a clean towel after it has time to soak in. If you shut the car up, the vapors will put a haze on the inside of your windows that is a pain to remove.

Crumpled up newspaper (unless windows are tinted) will take that and pretty much any haze off.
