I don't have leather interior, but for my leather steering wheel I use tannery's leather cream. it's a cream you put on...let sit a while and buff off. kinda like polishing, but for your leather. seems to work pretty well.

Lexol Products - Cant go wrong here
Armorall Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (My favorite)
Mothers Leather Products - Works just about as good as the Armorall
Something Else - Yes, thats exactly what it's called.

Believe it or not, my local Nissan dealer suggested that I go down the road to the local Jaguar dealer and ask for "Hide Food".
It's what the Nissan dealer uses when people pay $150 to have their interiors detailed.

If it's good enough for a Jag, then it's good enough for my Maxima.

I've been told by detailers that you should:

1. Clean using Woolite - 1 part Woolite, 6 parts water. Spray on and clean off, make sure that you get it all off.
2. Condition using Lexol Conditioner ($8.99 at pepboys) or the Jaguar Hide Oil stuff (not sure about price).

This method is supposed to make everything super soft, but not oily like Armor All can be.

Although I don't have leather seats (yet), I tried Lexol leather cleaner, then the conditioner on my steering wheel, did one helluva job! But when I get my leather seats (next GD), that's all my seats are gonna get cleaned & treated w/
