Default Leather seat wear

Has anybody noticed unusual wear on their front drivers seat. What I see is some very fine short threads peeking out from the vent holes on the seat bottom. Can only see this when the seat is in bright sunlight. Just notinced it today. I have had my car for almost 6 months. I have the regular leather seats not the semi-aline seats.

On the left side bolster, I got the minor "wrinkles" from getting in and out of the car.

This seems the only problem I have with my seat.

Mine is dark/black color with 13k miles since last May.

I've had mine for about 6 months and have not noticed anything as yet, just the usual wrinkles.

had mine since May '09, some wrinkles and jeans stains on the left side of the driver seat, otherwise everything is fine.

i use ArmorAll Cleaner/Conditioner Gel about once every 1-2 months and the stains generally go away.

i heard though that its better to use a leather protection product (that acts like sun tan protection) rather than conditioners, anyone with more experience here can give us his/her opinion?
