Tannery Leather and Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner. It comes in a spray can and it's sold at Ace Hardware. Apply it with a damp sponge and let it dry without wiping it off. I've been using it for two years on my red leather interior and the vinyl dash. The seats and dash still look brand new even though I live in 90 degree temps here in Fl. It has a pleasant unique scent too.

I apply the leather care every two months. My car is garaged and I usually only drive it on weekends. If you park outside and/or drive frequently, maybe you need to apply it more often.
I live in an apt, car's parked outdoors. I clean the interior twice a week. So far i've used some of those armor all wipes. My Audi had leather but I only owned the car a year so i neve really saw it throgh to see if there would be any damage. I'll have to order Griot's and start using that on the seats, dash and doors.

The leather in our cars are only on the seat part or the area that you actually sit on and it's not a top quality line of leather. The rest of it is pleather or plastic made to look like leather.
I just use McGuire's on it about once a month, no problems here. Now in my Conversion Van I have very expensive all leather seats.....what a difference! I do use some leather cleaner and conditioner on them that I got from a friend who works at a car lot. I have no idea what the brand is, but it does help keep them looking and smelling new.

I wouldn't waste putting leather cleaner or conditioner on the dash and doors of my Mustang since they are not made of leather. McGuire's makes some good interior cleaner for that job.

I have always used Lexol. But I tried some cleaner and conditioner that I got from a furniture store when I bought a leather sofa. Worked great!!
You may want to stop by a furniture store and see if you can buy a kit. No idea how much it costs.

I use Mothers Reflections leather care. I think its the best product that I've used. It even smells like leather when you apply it.

When I went full leather in my car the shop recommended Lexol. You can get it at advanced auto parts.

I used Lexol for years, it is a very good product. But in the past few years I became a Zaino freak. Love all there products. And there leater cleaner and preservative is probably the best I've use so far.
