Leather conditioner
i've always used Leatherique (not cheap, but great stuff!), but i found this thread from the Mercedes Benz forums via the Porsche 928 forums ...
Could this be the best leather treatment yet??? - Mercedes-Benz Forum
if you read into it, it says to buy the Nivea from Germany, as it does not contain petroleum jelly like the USA product does. ordered some German stuff off Amazon, will report back when it arrives and i get a chance to use it ....

got my German Nivea cream, applied and ... one problem.
it doesnt work too well with our perforated leather seats. little white spots everywhere. i just did the passenger seat, and got the excess out with a small detailing brush.
i may try thinning it out with Leatherique Rejuvenator, or just using it for the non-perf portions.

Chemical Guys leather cleaner & their conditioner got me to let go of using Lexol cleaner & conditioner. Honestly, my seats looks good as new and I have the stone interior. No creases or cracks...I just stay on top of treating them twice a year.
Thanks for keeping us posted on the Nivea results. I had read of similar results when used with older Mercedes leather from the 90's that was commonly perforated (not the MB-TEX).

that's why you get the German Nivea - has lanolin in it. USA version has petroleum jelly.
i didn't read the article i posted very well - you rub the Nivea on the solid leather surfaces with a cloth, then when you're done, you rub the Nivea-soaked cloth over the perforated leather so the holes don't get clogged up. i'll try it again today ...
