For my money, nothing beats Zaino for cleaning and protecting. And the smell is GREAT!

If you want an "over the counter" brand, I've heard good reviews for Lexol.

Use the "Cleaner/Conditioner" spray first. I lightly mist the seat, then wipe with a MF towel.

Once dry, use a new MF towel to apply the Conditioner.

The best leather cleaner for the money is Saddle Soap. Found in a spray bottle (pump type) at tack shops or Farm & Fleet, Tractor Supply, etc. It is basically a glycerin soap.
Many of these overprice products work but your just flushing cash down the toilet.

Saddle Soap may clean, but you'll want to replenish the "nutirents" to keep the leather pliable.

Meguiars (for cleaner and conditioner) has always been my fallback. I love how it works but does anyone know how well the suggested one does in comparison? If it is better and I can find out where to get a few bottles, I will upgrade the first chance I get.

Love Zaino!! I have also used the Griots prodcuts for leather and they also smell wonderful and seem to work great. I only use the Zaino products on my Baby now...
