As above once every now and then I apply in my case Maguires leather conditioner all over, leave it to sit for a day without sitting on the seats and it comes up new. Use the same product on the interior door trims and plastics and dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great variation in leathers used in car applications, but I understand all are anti UV treated. Your driver's seat bolsters may crack 10 years from now, or not if left untreated; however if you treat the driver's seat at reasonable intervals with one of the recognized leather products I think even that will last in neigh on new condition indefinitely.The thing that will get to the leather is sweat, salt, Coke, sand, coffee etc. Provided you are not in the habit of driving around without a shirt or jumping into the car when covered in salt and sand from the beach you will be fine. A leather steering wheel is obviously subject to a lot of direct skin contact, even then though, if these items are treated with leather products, say weekly, they will last an exceedingly long time… provided you’re not of the white knuckle brigade.Enjoy and periodically condition your leather; there is no need for seat covers.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wipe per seat every 3 months and the leather in the TTG looks like it did when delivered, even with all the crap the kids do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
