I was sent 2 leather cleaner/conditioner products to try out and I love them both
If you are a professional detailer and cost$$$ is a big issue with you then you need to try out 2 products from Hi-Temp. One is a cleaner/conditioner in one and ahuge time saver for those busy shops or mobile guys.
I cleaned and treated the leather of an interior in record time the other day and the owner really liked the leather smell it left behind. It is a rather thick product which is cool because it clings to the surface and allows you to work it in real good then wipe or buff it dry. The conditioner it leaves behind is not glossy but you know something is there and the leather is not left super slick but again you know something is there. Works nice on vinyl also. I think a gallon runs about $10, which is an awesome deal for the price conscience detailer.
The other Hi-Temp product for leather I tried out is a leather and vinyl lotion, which is fairly thick and has a pleasant smell to it. Not real "leathery" but still very nice. What I love about this product is that you can buff it off right away and it won't leave the leather or vinyl glossy but man does it leave it real SLICK:xyxthumbs Not to the point where you are going to slid off your seat but slick in the way of getting in and out. It contains a polymer that helps to ease up on the abrasion of the side bolsters. A gallon costs $21.
I would not use the 2 above products on analine leather, at least not for extended periods of time because they seem to be made more for the protected type leathers.
If you are a pro with high end clients OR if you are a detailing enthusiast and want the best for your baby then LeatherMaster is the way to go. I now carry this line of products with me and many of the products the produce I am still testing. They have 2 cleaners, one is a mild light cleaner and the other is the "Strong" cleaner and it does a great job in not only cleaning the leather, mainly analine leather (non-coated) but it leaves th eleather feeling awesome, you almost don't need to be on the conditioner it feels so good:xyxthumbs
There are also 2 conditioners. The regular conditioner, which is very easy to work with and the "Vital" conditioner which is a vitalizer for overly dry leather, or leather that is going to be in the sun alot. Application of these products may not be what many are familiar with. The cleaners are applied after you work up a head of foam, the foam is then applied to the leather. Cleaning comes in small areas instead of large areas as the product can dry out if not wiped up right away.
To show the results I got with the "Strong" cleaner and the "Vital" condioner Ihave these 2 pics.
First one is of a filthy X5 interior, this is the one in my Cyclo test.

UV2 works pretty well on preforated leather. It's fairly thin, didn't get in the holes. 
I'm glad it seems to work out for others besides just me.
