My 5th gen accord seats aren't looking too great. :hs: I use a bottled leather conditioner and a cloth. I can't remember what brand...Turtle Wax maybe?

I love my leather seats. Way more comfy than cloth and the heaters kick ass in the cold. I use Lexol cleaner and then Lexol conditioner applied with microfiber every 3-4 weeks when it's warm out...too cold to do it now Just don't rub too hard or you'll rub the color off h:

you don't need to do it that often. with minimal care once every 4months your leather will stay soft for a long long time. don't use any harsh cleaners and don't "rub" it will take the dye out if the leather hasn't been cared for in the past.

lexol or similar condition (apply by hand) every 3-4 months is all you really need.
