Leather care?

I have an '07 STI Limited. It has all leather interior. I just finished detailing my whole car. It took me about 4 1/2 hours. I'm beat, but it paid off. It looks really good.



Everything on the car looks good. The only thing I'm missing is some leather polish/wax/shine.



What products do you guys recommend to make my leather not crack, fade, or wrinkle? I appreciate your help guys! :)

The products that I really like are Duragloss leather cleaner and conditioner and Poorboys leather stuff.



For OTC, the Turtlewax cleaner and conditioner is really pretty good. Lexol is also good.
 
I like Zaino Z-10, with Poorboys Leather Stuff for quickie wipe downs. I use a damp MF towel for weekly cleaning, and a Woolite ~8:1 mix for the drivers seat (which gets the most use).



I've tried other stuff that worked fine, but I have trouble with some products leaving black on my towel from the backseat. Maybe the factory didn't use clearcoated leather in the back?
 
I have used 303 and Autoglym Leather cleaner and conditioner. 303 left a bit of a slick feel the first couple days, maybe I used too much? The AG stuff I was happy with.
 
Griot's has one of the best "1 step" leather care products I've tried, and I've tried most of them :)

As a nice 1 step I just tried the Pinnacle cleaner/conditioner. Doesn't clean anything that's really dirty but the seats felt nice and were not greasy.
 
Meguiars Gold Class is what I use. It works out great but kinda leaves a high shine finish. I put it on the night before I drive it when wipe it all down before I leave the next morning.. Works out great..
