Feeding the leather, sorry.

How often should you feed your seats and dash, ideally? Without being anal about it.

LOL, cool post title!!!

I usually do mine when I give the car a good wash, i.e.- every week, at least! lol

Hmm, bit of an obsession this one.

I use Turtle Wax Leather wipes literally every time I use the car to keep the leather as clean as possible - then once every few months 500ml of Liquid Leather is absorbed by the seats.

The smell and look luvely though

Trouble is, if you are going to cover every inch of leather (in a cerbera) it takes over half an hour. Weekly would be impossible and probably (guessing here) of no additional benefit.

I use a bottle of something or other(?) which is supposed to clean and feed at the same time, not sure how good it is but Ive only fed the leather twice in 7 months, which Im hoping is about enough?

I do mine every three or four months. I use some furniture leather conditioner, and it seems to do a very good job of keeping the leather in good nick!

I've asked this very same question concerning Rover P4 seats where baby oil was recommended.
Well if nothing else you'll get a soft bottom out of it.

I guess every 3 months should be ok then. Its only natural that my yeller cerb gets better treatment than yours
