Default Leather seat cover question.... conditioning

Some help would be appreciated. I just had new leather seat covers put on. Should I go ahead and put some leather conditioner on them while they are still new? Or should I wait a period of time? I've got some Eagle One Leather conditioner that I used on a set of seats that seemed to really work well.

JB,

There's another post I made earlier today with the new interior improvements(seat covers, carpet, floor mats) that I just finished. Another pic is below. What I am asking is should I put a moisterizer(leather conditioner) on them while they are still new.

Post #2000 :cheers:

Whoops, sorry, I phrased that badly--what I meant was I don't have a clue whether your should condition them while they're new or wait.

Nice lookin' seats! :thumbs:

B, i really recommend Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Leather is notorious for hardening and cracking...i have always cleaned and conditioned with Lexol on my seats, and they still look soft and nice...even after numerous times out in the sun with the top down. The stuff has the right pH for leather..its great!
