Bought new leather seats, now how do I condition/clean them?

Hey, all. So I finally recieved my leather kit from the GD (two-tone black & bone...will look KILLER with the interior conversion I'm doing ) and I was wondering what products you would recommend treating the leather with when I install the kit? And what I should use for maintinence/cleaning thereafter? In my search I have read that leatherique and Lexol work well, and to stay away from Meguair's. What's your take?

whats wrong with meguire? I thin leatherique and lexol would be a lil expensive for new leather. I've been using megiures for a while and its worked fine with me.

umm, seeing as how Meguairs is arguably one of the best car care comps in business.. id say go with them. pretty much any leather condition without any harsh chems should be fine, just keep up an often application of whatever you use or you'll get cracking

Lexol or go with 303. FInd out of the leather is sealed before doing anything.

I bought the Meguiars but haven't used it yet. Good to know it wasn't a waste of $$$$.

If you can, get some Lexus (the car company) leather care products, works great!
