The key to good leather care is to keep the surface of the leather protected and free from dirt and oils. Dirt and oils together with friction are what cause the breakdown of the finish on auto leathers. Cleaning on a little and often basis is much better then leaving it until it gets dirty. It should also be a simple process, no need for hours of dwell time or rubbin gin of products etc.

Make sure you use a good water based fluorochemical protector that contains UV protection. Many of the 'protectors' on the market do not meet this sort of specification and will not protect your leather correctly. Conditioners do not do any of these things.

Maintian using either a water based foam leather cleaner or a maintenance product. Doing these things on a regular basis will keep your leather clean and in good condition.
Using water based products adds moisture to the leather which is the only 'conditioner' it needs.
