i also use the meguire's leather cleaner in the black bottle, then i spray some armor all and give it another rub.

mequires cleans and softens the leather, and armor makes it slick and shiny.

I use the Zaino cleaner (Z9) and conditioner (Z10).

Lots of options like Lexol, Leathermaster, Leatherique, Turtle Wax, Meguiar's, etc.

I use Saddle Soap to clean them, and finish up with a nice coat of Mink Oil. Works great for me. Only downside is that the seats may feel a little greasy for a few hours until the Mink Oil completely absorbs.

I've been using Meguiar's Gold Class. I actually think next time I'm gonna try the two-step cleaning and conditioning process I use on my leather coats with the products they sell at Wilson's. It always gives my jackets a nice look and feel and has done a great job protecting them so far. Anyone tried that stuff?

i always use the saddle soap but it doesnt work that great id like something to make em smooth again i thing ill a few of these and see what I like. ashzero You really armor all the leather seats? That doesnt mess them up? Im always freaking out when I get just a little bit on the seats while cleaning the interior but maybe its not such a bad thing... Thanks for all the input.

Whatever you use make sure you clean and condition seperatley. That cleaner/conditioner mix isnt as good.

Although I don't know what works well, I know Lexol does NOT.
