how to protect white stitching on ebony leather seats?

My SH-AWD 4G TL has the bolstered leather seats w/ white stitching - the seats are Ebony - Question how can I treat the leather seats and NOT discolor the white stitching?

I guess you can elect to "boost" up when your driving?
Whatever you elect to 'condition" your seats with, make sure you do a final wipedown and allow a little dwell time afterwards.

What does boost up mean? CR, this is one where the FWD wins, no white stitching on mine, but I'd gladly switch to have that issue :-). What do you use to condition the seats with? And what's a little dwell time?

Use a water-based cleaner followed by a WB leather protectant (LM or Iz)

"Boost up" = Keep your rear in the air......
Sit on a bath towel?
Water based products, as TOGWT mentioned is another great idea....

good luck with that, i think your going to get white stitching dirty no matter what you do....

i would try to keep from using too much leather conditioner and dont use it everytime you clean your car...lets say maybe once a month or soo....and dont apply anything directly to the seat....

i use the meguiars gold class wipes, then i follow up with a dry wipe with a microfibre cloth...

if i was using something else, i would spray it directly onto my cloth and wipe the seats down, then follow with dry microfibre wipe down....

thanks guys - I'll see how it goes. So far as 'boost up' - my youngest's booster seat is on a towel. I used the zaino leather cleaner and conditioner on my old 3G. (zaino on the paint too)
