I use Lexol. It's a two part system with the cleaner and then the conditioner but it does a wonderful job in cleaning the leather and keeping it well.

Lexol is probably the best thing you will find in stores. I personally like 4 star platinum leather cleaner and conditioner. Also a 2 step system similar to Lexol but its not sold in stores.

I used, Mr Clean erasers, and then finished up with Meguires Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. Smells like a new car inside again.

When I use Lexol, I use a fine steamer to open up the pores before cleaning. This gets me the most effective cleaning out of the leather. Cuz when the pores are open, the dirt comes out. But not too many of you guys have steamers laying around.

I've used the Meguires Leather cleaner/conditioner and Meguires leather wipes. Those wipes actually keep the leather from going hard. Plus the good thing about Meguires is that it really smells good after use.

Yes, Meguiar's is the best I have found. Especially if you like it to smell like new leather every time you clean and condition it.

They sell a cream that is cleaner/conditioner all in one. I just apply amply with my hand and let sit. Then, just wipe off with a terry cloth. It keeps the leather looking, smelling, and feeling great.
