Default leather is showing its age

hi all, i'm in between ideas because my driver seat leather is starting to wear and fade a little. i'm having to put more leather conditioner and protection to keep her pristine but i'm now wondering if getting seat covers would help. i'd hate to cover up that beautiful leather which is what sold me on the car but i'd also hate to see my seat deteriorate.

what do you guys think? should i just get the cover or let the seat go au'natural?

what conditioner and protection exactly are you using?

I would say go natural, and die with dignity.

Mine's starting to look a little tired as well. Was going to try this product out when I have the time http://www.leatherique.com/

There are some nice looking resto jobs on that website. Someone should try it and post pics. The guy on here who changed his black seats to saddle used this product.

Excellent advice. Dying your leather a different color is the equivalent of this:
