Yep, best bet is to get a cleaner made specifically for leather and keep it "wet" all the time, but oiling it with leather conditioner every month or so.

Not that I recommend this, but my leather shift knob still looks great after 3 years, and the only way I oil it is by eating fast food fries while driving and rubbing the grease on the knob while shifting

I used to that, but not anymore because I stop eating fast food. Fast food is freakin nasty and unhealthy.

Yeah, same here actually. Now that I teach at a middle school with no prep period, I had no choice but to pack a lunch. My stomach is thanking me for it, though, so I feel better. Now if I could only find time to exercise and... ahem sorry for hijacking this thread. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread on caring for your dead cow skin.

The other product, autoglym, is discontinued, but look on autopia car care and any of those leather cleaners would be fine. Just make sure you have the two products, 1. a leather cleaner and 2. a leather conditioner.

When I use my leather cleaner it does the same, but after a while it just disappears...I don't know i guess it evaporates or something.
