Default Tan leather seats turning blue

Let me start off by saying my truck is very well taken care of. I condition my leather once a month and its cleaner than when I took delivery from the dealership. However my two front seats are starting to turn blue. I have nerf bars on so I dont drag mt a$$ across the seat. The leather cleaners dont seem to be helping at all. Is anyone having the same problem? Does anyone have a suggestions?

Wear blue jeans? Maybe when they are damp/wet?

the softer the leather gets, or whatever it is, the easier it stains. it also allows the stain to go deeper making it harder to clean.
i've used LEXOL-pH Cleaner before with good results. place enough on the stain so you can still see the product on top of the leather then leave it on over night.
as always, i would try this on a small portion first to make sure it produces the desired results.

Don't buy your jeans at Walmart.

also your conditioning the leather too much which can be more damaging than not conditioning the leather ,2-3 times a year is more than sufficent
