Default Leather seats

Whats the best way to maintain your leather seats in your DC5. Im starting to get wrinkles, no cracking or tearing, just wrinkles where my back is in my seat. How can i fix this and then maintain them better. I clean my car inside and out once a week.

Maybe use leather cleaner and conditioner and get tints to protect it from the sun?

Don't buy a car with leather. Leather sucks. One of the reasons I dislike the RSX Type S is the fact that if you wanted the K20A2, the you had to get leather. Is it so hard to build and sell a car that has a strong engine and bare-bones options? VW does it, as does MINI. I guess because it was an Acura, and had to give the image of higher-expense. I have never seen a car with leather look worth a damn after 10-15 years (or sometimes less) with regular driving. When I buy a car, I look at the long term durability of the components, whether or not I will even keep it that long.
