Hands down...Zaino Z-10. I've used a lot, and for maintenance, it has great properties and the best smell and feel.

Once your leather gets older, its worth checking out Leatherique, but until then Zaino is the best I've used.

I've been using Lexol cleaner and conditioner on my seats since the car was new and they've held up great.

Thanks - this stuff has some great reviews. Looks like you have to order on line though.

You do. I just got two bottles in the mail. They ship super quick though. I think they are in NJ and I got it in CA in 3-4 days.

Does anybody have any opinions on it?

I don't think anything is going to prevent that folding that happens on the driver side...

shoot if anyone was able to prevent that from happening. Let me know!

but Zaino cleaner and then conditioner is needed for best results and it keeps your car smelling new. providing you also wash your carpets.

Butt craters and bolster wear are unavoidable.

I don't even sit on a wallet in mine, nor use the seat heater, and I have two nicely formed butt craters on the driver side seat.

Just picked up some leather in a bottle - also ordered up some Z-CS Clear Seal. Will see how that works out!

Hard to get a good, thin, consistent layer. And I don't find the look as candy shell hard as most sealants. Really good beading though.
