the best stuff you can get for maintaining the leather in your car

I have been using Lexol for the past 3 years, and in my current car, Acura RDX, the leather seats are now over 2 years old, and yet looks like it has just been out of the showroom. The key is to regularly apply a thin coating to the seats, a little goes a long way with this product. I condition my leather seats once every month. It smells great too and if you apply only a thin coating, it is not sticky at all.

I have tried other stuff, like Meguiar's, mothers, etc... they don't come close to it's ability to maintain leather like Lexol does. In my old BMW 330i, where I was using Meguiar's leather conditioner, that leather seat was showing the signs of aging, cracking lines appearing throughout the seating surface. The Meguiar's stuff was also very sticky, which implies that very little gets absorbed.
Lexol on the other hand, you hardly see a trace of it after 10 mins following applying the coating. The leather is noticeably more supple.

The small bottle 8oz for $6 typically last me about 1 year of usage. Key is not to apply too much in each application; apply just enough that the leather will be sufficiently saturated and infused with the leather conditioning emulsion. If you happen to apply too much, and you can tell by how wet it looks, simply take a dry microfiber cloth and wipe off the extra.
