what do you think about getting leather conditioner into the stitching
That hidden stitching that holds pieces of the leather seat fabric together.
Do you think it's beneficial to get a bit of Lexol into those stitching holes, or will it just grease and dirty things up too much?

Leather conditioner will make your stitching hold onto grease and dirt - just like it makes your leather hold onto grease and dirt. Skip it.
Just clean and protect leather.

Yes avoid the fancy stitching. Spray it in the towel, not on the seat.

•Additionally:
Avoiding all of the stitching, fancy or not, is nigh unto impossible.
Abstaining from using fancy leather "conditioners", however, is an:
Attainable Goal, IMO.
•Accordingly:
After leather's cleaned:
Apply a leather Protectant.

Agreed
For me keeping light colored stitching on leather seats as clean as possible has more to do with the cleaning step, than the conditioning/protection step
I have found that if you clean in the direction of the stitching instead if across it....you will get less transfer dirt from the leather to the stitching
I also believe that if you clean the large sections, away from the stitching you can also reduce the incidence of dirt transfer to the stitching
Lastly, I think that if you have dirty seats, you are better off wetting the stitching and the leather with cleaner at the same time. The reason is that it seems that once the stitching is wet with cleaner, it is less like to grab and hold dirt that could be transferred from other areas of the seat

Re: what do you think about getting leather conditioner into the stitching
sorry, I'm not talking about exposed stitching.
I'm talking about at the seams, where it might stretch, and where you can't see thread. I have read that when the leather dries out, those seams might stretch irreparably.

Re: what do you think about getting leather conditioner into the stitching
but if you don't condition all around the stitching, don't you risk letting that leather harden up and break sooner?

The stiching you pictured is what I am referring to in post #5

that's my concern. I saw a picture of a rolls royce posted here somewhere with stretched stitch holes.
