Default Leather care

What do you use for your cars interior leather surfaces?
I've read/ heard lots of things about lots of stuff, but most of it is either a pitch or just some joe raving about the flavor of the month.
I'd like to know what our German/Italian car owners use on their hides...

I use Griot's Garage leather care. I really like it. There might be something better out there but once I started using this I stopped looking for anything else.

Leather Care, 8 Ounces - Griot's Garage

I pretty much like all of their products although they are up there in price, but not the highest. Their Speed Shine is especially useful.

I can recommend the following:

Lexol - Trusted by professionals

Also a product call Hyde Food, used to come in a cream but now I only see it in a spray bottle.

For me, its Zaino #9 to clean and #10 to condition. The smell is wonderful and it works great.

Lexol to clean (I use the wipes) and Mequiar's Gold Class to condition. I clean and condition twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

I spend too much time trying to keep blue/black jean dye off light colored seats. I doubt I will never purchase another vehicle with light colored trim. Ever since automotive suppliers have moved to chrome free leather transfer has become a much bigger issue.

^^^^ Agreed ^^^^ fortunately I have darker colored leather in two vehicles. The rest are cloth or vinyl of some sort.

I use both of these in conjunction (clean and condition) and have gotten great results.
