Thanks davyjordi, I had no idea and assumed it was leather but will do some research on NuLuxe. I treated my current seats with Meguiars when I first bought it and then Trinova but recently used 303 based on several recommendations on this site.
At work my car sits outside for 10hrs a day plus I live in Chicago so hot summers and very cold winters which probably doesn't help.
