My car is an '08 with 14,000 miles. It is my daily driver. BTW, I'm 220 pounds. I estimate that my passenger seat has been sat in less than 15 times.

Proper treatment with the Leather Masters trio, PLUS CAREFUL ENTRY AND EXIT, keeps the driver's seat looking good. IMO, the entry and exit is just as important, if not more, than the treatment. I lever myself into and out of the driver's seat, supporting my weight with my left hand on the scuff plate, careful not to rub the side bolster, and rubbing the outside left edge of the seat bottom as little as possible.

I use the cleaner every 1-2 weeks, and the conditioner and protection cream every 4-6 weeks.

One caveat -- I've used the Leather Masters since the beginning, so I don't know whether it would be effective in correcting leather that is already heaily worn, as I don't have any experience with that. Leatherique seems to be often-recommended on this forum and others for re-vitalizing worn leather. Good luck.
