Post how to clean/moisturize leather seats

What products do you guys use to protect and clean your leather seats? I have heard to use a good leather cleaner/polish from shoe store. Any better idea's? I just want to make sure I get the good stuff. Also how often should i do this? I have tinted windows so the sun rarely hits the seats directly. Thanks

I use a product called Lexol. They make a cleaner and a softener/protectant. I love it. It keeps my steering wheel and shift **** looking good. It's available at most shoe repair shops or where saddles and leather goods are sold. I'm sure someone is going to chime in and tell you how good Zaino products are!!!!
Good luck,
Fred

I of course use the Zaino products, here is the info:

Z-9 'LEATHER SOFT' SPRAY CLEANER

An alkaline-free, special blend of emulsifiers, mink oil and lanolin to safely clean all fine leather surfaces. It removes soil and stains without harming the natural oils in leather. Will not cause leather to crack, shrink or dry out. Z-9 will restore leather surfaces to like new condition. Perfect for all leather products. Excellent for vinyl too. After cleaning, Z-10 Leather in a Bottle™ Treatment and Conditioner is recommended to keep the leather supple, soft, protected and enhance the leather scent.

Z-10 "LEATHER IN A BOTTLE" TREATMENT AND CONDITIONER

Two years in the making and already rated number one in the industry (May 1999 issue of Corvette Fever magazine). Z-10 Leather in a Bottle™ Treatment and Conditioner contains a perfectly balanced, solvent-free blend of mink oil and other natural nutritives, which penetrates, softens and preserves the leather. We also added Ultra-Gard™ our total UV protector (40) and our exclusive real leather oil concentrate. This feeds and enhances the leather scent, to give your vehicle that great new leather smell. Just wipe on and let dry, no buffing is necessary. It leaves a non-oily, non-greasy, non-sticky, stain repelling, natural luster and restores the soft, supple feel, and smell of fine leather. Breathes new life into older leather. Does a great job on vinyl interiors and dashboards too. One whiff and you will agree its Leather in a Bottle™. This product has no equal in the world.

Although I don't use Z-9, I do use Z-10. It's an excellent product, I love the way the leather seats look and feel after applying it (ew, that sounds kinda creepy ). Plus it gives the car a great "new car" smell that people notice.
