I just use "Leather Care Protectant" by Armor All...keeps it all soft and super shiny.

I know there has been some question raised about this in the past....and I think it does...

Maybe you should try Lexol?

armor all has silicone in it! Most off the shelf products do and get the Meguiars Leather cream conditioner. Actually used for leather and has UV protectants and NO silicones. Wont be "super shiny" but supple and conditioned like leather should be IMO....hope it helps

I've been using Meguirs Leather cleaner (I'm at work and don't recall the actual name but it's in a spray bottle) and it works well. Not too slippery and seems to do the job.

I use the Zaino products and have been extremely pleased with them.

Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner
Z-10 Leather in a Bottle

I use the cleaner, wipe it all down and let it dry and then follow it up with the leather in a bottle. My seats are softer than when they were new and it brings back that leather smell!!
