Default leather care

i was wondering what some other people are using to care for the leather seats. i was currently using meguirs leather conditioner but just ran out and would like to try something else. how often are you guys putting it on your seats? i have already started to notice a little bit of drying going on with my seats and want to stay on top of it. also, looking for something that will soak in quicker as when i would apply the meguirs, the seats would stay oily for about 2 days making me not want to drive the car and get it on myself. thanks.

Mothers leather conditioner, works well, does a great job of keeping the seats rich and smells good too.

I use to use leatherique on my previous car. I thought the two step process did a good job cleaning the seats and steering wheel and then leaving them with a nice matte finish. I don't like the 'wet, oily' look. My Z is almost 2 weeks old, so I haven't tried the product on my new seats yet.

What ever you use, use a TWO step system with SEPARATE cleaner and conditioner, the all in one cleaner/conditioners are not much....

I would skip that last thing, leather supply stores deal and work with leather that is nothing like automotive leathers......

Agreed,
They will recommend, whatever they sell 'in house'.
Trust me try the 'Mothers'. Start w/ the cleaner, and then apply the actual product.....
I've been using this system for a long time now........
