What leather conditioner?

I have a 05 and the seats look pretty good it's just the leather is hard. Is there anything I can do to soften it back up or is it a lost cause? I tried lexol leather cleaner and conditioner and it didnt seem to make much difference.

I use Mothers cleaner then conditioner every couple months or so and work it in the leather with a microfiber cloth. Works wonders! Between in-depth cleaning/conditioning, I use Meguiars rich leather wipes and give it a quick once over.

I don't know the history of your leather care and you might not either, especially if you are not the original owner so I can't say for sure if your leather is shot or not. I would say if there's not anything major wrong such as excessive cracking, discoloration or glazing you should be alright. Keep in mind it will never be as soft as luxury couch leather. It's a car seat.

It's not cracked or anything just hard and rough as hell. I would like to save it if possible.

The best stuff out there is the Leatherique Pristine Clean and Rejuvenating Oil. Used in combination they give amazing results.

Can you get that from a store or is it online only?

I've never seen it in a store, but Detailed Image and other detailing retailers online offer it. It really works wonders if you use it correctly.

I'm a big fan of the Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner. You have to order online but it is worth it IMHO
