Hi, i have a 1990 GTU and bought some GXL leather seats from a local seller. I was thinking those of you that had leather seats, what types of protectant did you guys used to prolong the life of the leather? Giving me some brand name would be great so I can look for them in auto stores.

thanks

F21 super protectant made by turtle wax. i use it on all my vinyl/leather applications. ive been using it on my moms leather seats in her Land Crusher.

how much did the dealer rape you on those seats? i thought they booked for $400 a piece new.

I use Lexol, that's what was recommended by leatherseat.com guys at the time I redid mine.

So far so good, my vert is not out that much but I do it once a month in the summer.

I've also heard Mothers was also very good.

I've heard the oil you use for a baseball glove works pretty good.

Yep! That was me actually... its all in the write-up linked above. Its called neatsfoot oil. Lexol ends up a little nicer IMO since it doesn't leave it super oily and come off on your skin... The neatsfoot will eventually soak all the way in, but I towel off the excess.. takes a while sometimes. But, over time, my neglected seats have drank a LOT of this lexol stuff.... They keep looking better and better. Eventually I'll get'em re-covered, but for now....
