imho use whatever's cheapest because it's not real leather, for the most part. Go to your local furniture shop and sit in a leather sofa and you will see. Actually, you can go to BJ's Warehouse which has the cheapest, stiffest leather sofa's you'll ever see, and it's way higher quality than what you find in a max. A Rawlings softball glove made in Haiti uses higher quality leather than Nissan!

Armor all makes a cleaner/conditioner product that's probably about $5 that'll do the trick.

I use Lexol cleaner, and conditioner on my leather. Lexol is about the best over the counter leather treatment. It cost about $12-14 for the two.

The problem with 100% leather and cars is tha teh leather can stand up to the regures of bein in a car and it's difficult for leather to hold it's shape. Have you ever seen a saggy leather couch the viny and lether combo is good if it is done properly and is of a desect quality. I sat in a 2003 7series and really couldn't tell the difference in the quality between the BMW and my Max.
