Questions about cleaning/maintaining Leather Seats...

Hey, I just got a Maxima with leather seats (first car with leather seats) and I was wondering how often should I use leather cleaner and conditioner on my seats? Is it better to use an all-in-one type deal or seperate cleaner and conditioner? Any recommendations? I was thinking of using the Armor All Leather Cleaner or the Meguiers Leather Cleaner stuff (all-in-one sprays).

Thanks for you help.

I recommend widely used and trusted Lexol Leather Cleaner and Lexol Leather Conditioner. I personally use also Connolly Hide Food. I also heard that Autoglym Leather products are not bad. But do NOT use Armor All Leather Cleaner.

When I detail cars with leather, I use 1Z Lederpflege. It's a cleaner and conditioner in one. I apply it with a microfiber applicator, and remove with a MF towel. It's very easy to use and the leather looks/feels great afterward.

i use the meguires stuff... works great, i dont have one crack in my leather and it is still dark black. most people do not believe that the leather in my car is five years old... they think i had it installed aftermarket.

Thanks for the replies. I'm probably just gonna use the Meguiers All-in-one leather cleaner/conditioner spray. How often should I use it? I was thinking once a month. What do you guys think?
