what to use on the seats

[nsdq3]

just looking for opinions on what to use to clean and protect the leather

It's a very good question. Some here have experienced cracks and even tears in the leather of their brand new seats. Leather is shipped and stored dry to prevent mold and mildew, and the finished product is almost never treated. We get our new Raptors and we're all about modifying the engine or suspension, or hanging lights on it, and we neglect to take good care of what's already there. Dry leather will crack and tear - especially when it's cold.

I have had very good results with Harley-Davidson Leather Care over a very long period of time, but they've changed the formula and the stuff I've used to keep motorcycle gloves and leathers in service for a long long time is no longer available. I have almost run out of the H-D product and I like to use it on my motorcycle gloves, so I have been using Blue Magic Leather Cream Conditioner on the Raptor's seats, steering wheel and shifter with very good results. I recommend it. It's available at Auto Zone and probably at O'Reilly's and Advance Auto, too.

I sealed them with this:

And condition with Adams, which smells very nice.

I used chemical guys ph balanced leather care with great success... Just as the seats were beginning to crack I rubbed this stuff on and the cracks disappeared and look great again....

Icecobra, can you please provide a link for that stuff?

Leatherique is what I will use, its a major PITA, but its worth it. Use it on my M3 twice a year. This is the DIY from the m3 forum I'm on:

I use leather care from Griot's garage,

I have also started using Adam's products

I think both a great, Adam's doesn't streak like Griot's, but I think Griot's smells better (and when the inside gets to 100+ degrees in the summer, you care what it smells like)
