i use lexol. two bottles, one is a cleaner, one is a conditioner. i'm not sure if it has UV protection though, so i'm looking into that. i know their vinyl product does, but i'm not sure about the leather product.

I use stuff from Griot's garage. You can't get it in stores, but it will leave your leather smelling like a baseball glove, and does a good job cleaning and softening. If you want super shiny, black magic interior shine will do that, but it will also make the leather slippery. I usually mix the two a little bit.

I like the smell of the Zaino and Lexol Conditioner and Cleaners. They both seem to do a great job!

Meguires I have used tanners before too in 2 bottles. Meguires has actually been making stuff for a long time, and there products are very good for over the counter widley avaiable. And many guys use there stuff for car shows. I have a whole line of Meguires, was going with Zanio, but just never got it.
