from their site..

This luxurious leather formula combines our cleaning, conditioning and leather protection formulas to safely and conveniently clean, moisturize and protect your fine leather. Our super luxurious textured wipe material is saturated with high levels of rich moisturizers, including aloe, to pamper your fine leather while protecting from spills, stains and UV damage

I love this stuff. The scent reminds me of "new car smell."

The best stuff to use on dash, panels, etc. on anything thats plastic or vinyl is Vinyl-X that stuff is really good and doesnt make **** all oily ready to collect dust, and keeps it from drying out and cracking, and also fading.
And i heard the best thing for leather is called "Hides food" or something like that. I just use minks oil.

You know what works great...as odd as it sounds? Coach leather cleaner and conditioner. Its 8 bucks each. I fugured if they use it for high end hand bag leather, it should work great on my leather seats. And it does. Just thought I would post my odd leather treatment.

Ditto on Coach leather cleaner and conditioner. On dash and plastic I use Pledge.
