I've been looking at all the boards for leather cleaners and conditioners. I hear that there's coated and non-coated leathers, also dyed leather. I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe and am not exactly sure what type of leather I have. It is tan in color. If anyone has experience with this type of leather, I would appreciate all advice I can get.

Leather care for Tahoe?

Finished/coated leather is dyed the desired color and finished so it does not readily absorb water or other liquids. (repells it)
Auto upholstery and furniture are usually this type. Absorbent leathers and non-coated include deerskin, suede and chamois. If a drop of water soaks in and makes a dark spot, it's absorbent leather/non-coated and not finished/coated. On both of my vehicles I have coated/finished leather.

So what is the best way to treat coated leather. I was thinking of trying woolite (6 to 1) for cleaning, but am not very sure what to use for conditioning. I will use 303 every other month for protecting it. Is there anything that can be purchased at most auto stores that people can recommend. I've read the posts and most people obviously have varying opinions. I'm sure this has to do with what type of leather they are using it for. Mine is a 2002 Tahoe.
