What do you guys use to keep the leather in good shape? I have black seats and I want to do some preventative maintenance by cleaning conditioning them.

Optimum Leather Protectant.
Awesome stuff. Not greasy, and leaves a no gloss, satin finish.

so. many. choices!!!
I did look at the Adams stuff and that got great reviews.
I looked at Zaino and that looks good.
Lexol looks good too.
Anyone have a 3 sided coin to flip to help me make this decision?

I actually posted this question in the auto care forum as well and only got one reply about a product. Really wanted to see some real life experiences...like in this thread.

Its a little old fashioned (the bottles look etc) but she works perfect!!!
Don't be stingy with it. Some Rolls Royce detailing guys literally pour it in their hands and HAMMER the seats with it.

I've been either using Leatherique or Zaino on all my cars in the past.
But one day I was at a very high end concours type car restoration place and I asked what was best for leather. The owner said it all depends on which leather and how it's treated. Some leathers are aniline and some are semi-aniline, etc.. I asked about the AMG Napa leather. He said Napa is a name of a tanning process invented by an Italian in the Napa Valley (hence the name.) He went on to say that automotive Napa is all surface treated and that eventually it wears off. The best product for this kind of automotive Napa leather (according to him) is something made in Italy called Leather Master. The company is UNITERS S.p.A. - Italy.
I haven't tried it, but I might. Here's their website: http://www.uniters.com/folder.php?cms_folder=15
You can buy it in the US here: http://www.autogeek.net/about-leather-master.html

Unfortunately Connolly is out of business. The real Connolly is no longer available and the brand and license was sold off. Now it's just a basic lanolin product. Connolly used to be great for old cars and British cars with actual Connolly leather in them. But it isn't really appropriate for modern treated automotive Napa leather, imho. But if you like it, then
