Leather tag in SRT8?

When i picked up my car around the seat was this thing saying that the leather they used didnt require conditioner or anything like that because of its quality, blah blah. i do like it better than the leather in my maxima, but is this really a true statement, does the leather not need conditioning? i ask because the side of my drivers seat doesnt really have cracks in it, it just looks like the leather has some flaws or wrinkles or something in it, its not as tight as the opposite side of the seat, and im hoping that leather conditioner (Lexol) will help that out.

Everyone's side lower bolster has wrinkles in it. It's the leather they used.

I wouldn't buy the "non-conditioning" part. It's cheap insurance to use a cleaner every once in a while and condition it.

thats a little bit of a relief. its just a little aggravating to see that every time you open the door, i mean right there of all palces! haha.

stealth, is Griots better than Lexol? i never heard of it but usually the best stuff, you never hear of.

i have not personally used lexol so i can't compare it to griot's. i like the griot's becuase it drys "clear" if you have perforated leather, stitch seams, etc. the after-smell is pleasant and not too strong.

Griot's Garage Leather Care

use whatever you are comfortable with, and use it regularly. years from now your leather will still look great and you'll be happy you did.

I know, it bothers me too, but like all leather seats they wrinkle.

Is it in an orange bottle? If it is then I use the same stuff, it's great. I also use Zaino leather spray if I need to wipe my seats down quickly.
