Keeping the Leather Stitching Bright White

You all know of any products that would aide in keeping the stitching on the leather in our trucks white? My steering wheel is starting to show some wear and, after looking at that post about the 2002 King Ranch with that picture from ebay, I'm realizing that my steering wheel (and maybe other stitching) needs some special attention.

Any ideas?

Why don't you ask a few cowboys...I'm sure they lay awake at night worrying about keeping the stiching on their saddles white. Seriously....I just prefer to call it "patina".

What are you using now to condition the leather? I've used the KR stuff Ford sent and some Meguiars, and had no problems keeping the stiching white on the seats and consles. I'm not worried about the steering wheel. I remember a post about Lexol possibly weakening the stitching on our leather, but it seems several folks use it here and no one reported that.

I'm an avid lexol user. No thread deteoration to report. My steering wheel is really the only thread portion that I'm vaugely worried about because, even before I bought it, (**It was a DEMO**) the stitching on the steering wheel was somewhat dirty.
