    Leather Seats - looking for ideas

    Our 900 has leather seats (I guess they all do) but they're a little dried out - not cracked or damaged - just dried out. What is the best product to use to get them back to some state of softness and suppleness?

    I've used Lexol and Neatsfoot Oil (which works great on my belts after they get wet) but I've noticed only marginal improvements.

    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

    I had a 1990 900 that had cloth seats. It was for the US market. I liked it. I didn't wear.

    I've heard of others using Leatherique (online) and Passier Lederbalsam conditioner (horse saddle shops).

    My C900 has cloth seats too.

    I second what Dave T, go to a horse saddle shop and get a good leather conditioner made for outdoor leather (saddle leather). Once you get that leather rejuvenated you can use Griot's Garage's Leather Care to keep it buttery soft. Another product you can try instead of the saddle shop conditioner is Griot's Garage Leather Rejuvenator. I haven't used it myself but know some that swear by it. Griot's Garage stuff is usually very good so I would give that a try.
