Most leather from the early ninties and up (exeptions, some jaguars ect) are sprayed with a clear vinyl that is still breathable. Regular applications of conditioners (lexol, hide food, ect) will soften the clear coat which is not good. I can see using some conditioners like once a year just to keep the leather underneith soft, but dont use it monthly. You should use a PMDS type dressing like 303 every three weeks or so. As for cleaner, most good leather cleaners work fine (no saddle soap though!) but i use griots garage interior cleaner and found that it cleans leather better than the lexol, which i manly use for shoes anmd furnuature ect. I have found that the combination of Griots interior cleaner and 303 keep the leather in my dads LS430 looking better than when i used the lexol.
