I have been using black magic 2 in 1 leather care. Works great I use it about once a month. The rest of the time I just use a wet rag to wipe the interior down to keep the dust off.

Meguiars spray - but just on the wheel, shifter & boot. Tried it on my cloth seats, and the results really sucked

303 protectorant is a better alternative to the normal oily treatments. It dries pretty much clear, leaves a matte finish, doesn't attract dust and has a good deal of UV blockers. Many premium vinyl products used outside like hottub covers, RV awnings and bed covers recommend it's use. I use it on any plastic, rubber part, and my headlight lense covers (clear after many a mile). Try it on your windshield wiper blades - you'll be impressed, especially in the winter as ice/snow seems to not build-up on the treated blades.

Never heard of the stuff, where do you buy it? Walmart, Autozone?

Since 90% of the seats are vinyl, I just use Black Magic vinyl/plastic protectant because it smells like leather.

I use the dish soap/water mix with a sponge. Then I treat the leather with baseball glove oil. Specifically a product called Hot Glove. It is designed to put your ball glove in the oven for 20 minutes. I get about the same result by leaving the car in the sun on a hot Southern day. I have used this stuff for 15 or 20 years and have never had anything but good luck with it. I have even been able to bring back severley weathered leather seats. In between soap/water and oiling treatments I use meguires wipes.

I use the McGuire's conditioner for the first pass. I do not put it on the perforated part because, as mentioned before buffing it out of the holes is a pain. The creme has a flat finish. Next I run over my seats witht he McGuire's wipes. THese work well on the perforated parts and leeave a glossy shine. I let them air dry for a bit and then wipe with a clean terry cloth.

Next I take the car out and zing around some corners. Sliding all about the seats around corners is an indication that the seats are well conditioned. :-)

+1 for Lexol. I've used the cleaner and conditioner for years and it works great!
