Default How often should you...?

How often should you conditioner your leather seats?
My seats are in great condition so I condition them with Mother Leather Condition every other week (twicw a month). I starting to feel that it may be to much??

How often do you guys do your seats??

Thanks

I usually try to do mine once every couple months. I dont daily drive mine though so it may not see as much wear as yours either.

I have never done this. I have had my car since '04 and the seats look the same. What products do you guys use?

To behonest, this maybe a condition of Diminishing Returns.

When I first got my 2002 T/A based on previous owner, not much upkeep was done, thus the seats were in a need of some conditioner/cleaning.

I noticed the first time that I did it, and rubbing it in by hand. The seat sucked in nearly 3 Treatments at one sitting. The seats felt phenominal!

I go a long time between treatments, maybe 6 months, but the car mainly sits. I did another treatment and the seat bearly asorbed any new product. I ended up wiping up most of it as it had sat for 1-2 hrs on the seat (i was detailing).

This had been my exp with a few cars. Getting dirty leather clean is one thing but for keeping leather moist and supple, you should not need to be doing that all that often. IMO.
