Zaino Leather care products are great. Both the Leather Cleaner and the "Leather in the Bottle" will take care of your seats without having you sliding on them. Also highly recommend the Tire Care products.

I recommend the entire Zaino line. Some others here have their own suggestions but, the consensus is the Zaino products are the best. I learned about it here, it works better than anything else I have used and would not recommend anything else.

Ditto what Todd said.
The whole Zaino product line works & looks great.
The leather conditioner smells like new leather. You will like. :up:

I might get run off the boards for this, but the Armor All leather protector/cleaner makes my seats look really good. I have never been tough on the interior of a car - I tend to baby the cars I have and after 150K they tend to look new at least on the inside, but I have been happy with using AA about every 6 months or so.

I have used the Meguiar's one step leather care and it is also a good product.

Armor All works very well on the leather, price is right. For wax I like something called Collinite Wax. Very easy to use.

www.collinite.com Their are a lot of tricks to keeping a car looking good we all have our bag of tricks. Over time you'll find yours.

Good luck

first of all
don't EAT ANYTHING in the car and leave your screwdriver out of your back pocket

then everything takes care of itself...

kids/pets/boxes belong in the minivan NOT the NUDO(!)

get yourself a nice 100% cotton terry cloth AMERICAN MADE towel
dampen it with a pint of water and rub it over the seats and wipe it dry

how you spell VOILAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Actually, cleaning leather with water tends to dry out the leather more quickly than doing nothing at all to it.

Leatherique makes a wide array of excellent products, though it's pricey. The rejuvenator and cleaner should be used together as a system. Back from my Jaguar-owning days, this was the product that made the other owners jump up and down with excitement.

I've also been pleased with Lexol, which is much cheaper and much easier to find.

I haven't tried the Zaino products yet, but I'm sure I will. :)

I agree with DavidB. Do NOT use water to clean leather.
Water is ok for vinyl not leather. Use a leather cleaner or conditioner product that puts back some oil into the leather.
Zaino, Zymoil and Meguiars all have good leather products.

Having three girls and two cars with a leather interior I can't stress the inportance of a two step process. First, clean the leather by vac-ing out the crevasses, Clean the leather with any leather cleaner. I admit to cleaning with Simple Green at times(toothbrush too). Let dry and cover in leather food for at least an hour before sitting. I use Groits products with great results.
