king ranch leather

[smokinstroker]

what is everyone using on their seats to keep them conditioned.

i use the king ranch stuff from ford right now, but it seems like they lighten up pretty quick after applying it and it doesn't last to long.

anyone else used something different?

Anything water based. Do not use lexol. It's oil based. Will stain the seats. I use this.

That should just clean the surface. Then you can go condition them.

One little trick I found was apply your conditioner with a rubber glove. Then you don't waste conditioner soaking it into your application rag.

I leave mine on for 10 minutes then wip it off with an old tshirt.

I wash the seats first, then use the ford conditioner while wearing surgical gloves. Just squirt the conditioner right into you hands and work it into the seats.
Works since 2003...my seats still look brand new.

The biggest mistake people make is wearing shorts or no shirt in hot weather...the body sweat stains the seats, and it don't come out...and it looks absolutely gross.

My seats were pretty bad since before I bought the truck. Already lightened and 2 small tears in the driver seat.

the stuff Adam posted up is what you want, you can buy it at ford, its called the king ranch conditioner. if you want to save a few bucks, go to car quest or napa and order

duragloss 221 (small bottle)
duragloss 222 (big bottle)

its the exact same thing as the king ranch conditioner without the special bottle

I used lexol since I had the seats reupholstered. Same leather and they haven't faded in 4 years.
