All seats or just fronts?

When you guys condition your seats (with Lexol etc.) are you just doing the ones you are using most or do you do them all - front and back seats - regardless if you have ever sat in them?
Thanks.

I do all of them as the weather dries the leather over time, front seats once a month and back every two months as they are only used occasionally.

Once a month I'll condition all of my leather seating surfaces. Every 3 months or so, I'll clean them with water/cold water detergent and then condition.

I condition all the seats once a month. With special attention to the driver's seat...as I'm usually the only one in the car.

Thanks.
When you take a shower do you wash just the parts of your body you use the most, or the whole thing? Sorry for the sarcasm, in my point of view you want to keep the car as pristine as possible, I do all leather surfaces in the car as this will look the nicest. People do not sit in my backseat very often either.

yeah but your whole body is exposed to the elements when the back seats never really get touched. the driver's seat obvious gets used and the passenger seats gets alot of use too. and its conditioning not cleaning so much. the front seats just get more wear and tear from use and the need for more conditioning.

I'd say do all the seats at the same time so the wear (or richness) is consistant. I do all seats at the same time even if I've less usage on others.

Yes, I have Meguiars 2-1 cleaner and conditioner, so I do both simultaneously :P
Because most people hardly ever use the back seats, you find cars all over with worn looking front seats and almost perfect back seats. Although the back seats are still exposed to things like heat, dryness, and other weather that can accelerate wear.

Don't forget the armrests and door handles. They need some TLC too.
