Wearlines in leather

My leather seats are starting to show a little wear, they look like new, except for the wear lines that show up after time on cars occasionally after time. I'm just looking to treat it before it becomes a rip later down the road or fades more. The color wore off in some spots as well, so I am just looking for a fix, without reupholstering. Thanks,

Mark

Do you keep it cleaned all the time? I use some Meguiars leather conditioner every two weeks to keep it from wearing.

Wow, so every 2 weeks huh. I've only cleaned my leather once, although I do keep my interior very clean.

Lexol products are better. They have been making that stuff for years. They originally made the stuff for shoes, jacket and furnature. First use the pH balanced cleaner then the conditioner.

Thats a good point. Is there a seat cover you can use with our seats?

the t shirt only covers the part where you lean on right? im sure most of the "wearing out" is where the outter part of the seat is....where you actually place your ass. know what im talking about?? i already have lines in that area and it looks like its on the verge of ripping. its hard to prevent
