Leather conditioning?

Does anyone condition their leather seats? I normally did this once a year on my old TL, but the RDX has perforated leather. If I used any sort of cream, it would clog up the little holes.

So what does everyone do?

I never like using any leather cream conditioners... I use lexol emulsion conditioner. In my 2005 TSX, it has kept the leather looking like new and smelling great, even after 2 years.

I have been using Lexol on my RDX leather seats for like 8 months now...

Lexol makes leather conditioners for everything, horse saddles, household products shoe leather... It has been around for the longest time...

Lexol is great stuff. Just don't apply it directly to the perforated sections of the seats. Instead, apply it to a moist terrycloth or microfiber and use it sparingly.

I use the Lexol cleaner followed by the conditioner on all the leather and faux leather in my TSX and have found it to be a great product. It keeps the leather quite supple and smelling good, like leather.

I use the Meguiars wipes, too. Used them for about 8 years in my previous vehicle, a leather-seated RAV4. It kept the leather looking good all those years.

I don't like the smell, though.
