Care of leather seats in GS300

Does anyone know a good treatment for leather auto seats? I’ve got a
1993 GS300, and the seats seem to be drying out a bit, perhaps in
danger of cracking in the future. I treat leather boots with silicone
spray, but that often leaves them a bit slicker than I’d like on a car
seat. Someone suggested saddle soap, but I’m concerned that that often
leaves things oily.

Has anyone had good or bad experiences with products that are supposed
to rehydrate leather?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I always use leather cleanser and conditioneer…
    These really help to prevent cracking fom my previous experiences…

    Have a look at item numbers 11141 and 11535 at http://www.griotsgarage.com.  Order
    a paper catalog if you like (their website is best for order entry, not
    browsing IMO).  Griots sells great stuff.

    I use Duragloss product # 441 Leather Conditioner and Shampoo on my ES with
    light tan leather.  In NC you can get it at Carquest Auto Parts stores.
    They have a website you can order from also.  It leaves the leather looking
    new, not shiny or oily.  I’m picky so I wouldn’t recommend it if I didn’t
    think it was good.

    I have a 93 LS400 and I’ve had good results with Lexol.  This is what the
    dealer uses too.
