Default Anybody else have dry-feeling leather?

I have the leather sport seats and they've felt dry (almost like a brown paper bag) from day one. I've already tried the Lexol cleaner\conditioner combo once and saw very little improvement. Do I need to just keep putting a ton of the conditioner on until absorbs enough or what?

Any advice is appreciated.

Default Lexol - nothing better

ask if they have the leather cleaner/conditioner and vinylex package.

It's amazing on leather.<p>Tom Van Ness

Default I second that (more)

Used Lexol on the Lexus, and it was like getting a new leather interior.

You can also pick up Lexol products at your local Ace Hardware store, if I'm not mistaken.<p><img src="http://www.ringosoft.com/car/sc2.jpg"/>SC400, A4 1.8T on order
