    Depends on if we’re talking real leather like a Ford Platinum or most bonded “leather” in cars. The water won’t affect the fake leather (unless perforated) and will likely help clean it better. I agree I’d be careful with real leather.

    Sometime in the past here. A Ford King Ranch was mentioned as the only current vehicle with real unprotected leather. Rolls Royce etc not considered.

    Well, my car has 20 year old leather seats. Well, it's kind of more like cardboard. Over the years I've tried several different conditioners and Found Zaino Z10 and Leather Honey to help the most. Leather Masters would also be a good choice for old seats.

    If I had dry seats, I’d probably start with Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil (and Clean) based on reading but I haven’t needed to use it myself.

    Those 2 products are amazing. I used them both on the buick seats when we first got it. It did exactly what is says it will do. Got all the dirt out, soften the leather. I use prestin clean as a maintenace product for all my leather
