I tried Meguiars Gold Class wipes and did not like them - shiney smelly seats.
I then used my Lexol I had for other uses - love it!! First I used the cleaner then the conditioner - I actually applied 3 coats of the conditioner. Smells like a leather interior should.

I have tried a bunch of products, and these were the best I have found.
I have had people at shows stop and stick their head in my car just for the smell.
My friend bought a used Toyota and the leather seats had major sweat stains on the seats. He tried multiple products to remove the stains. Nothing would work. I let him try my Zaino Z-9 leather cleaner and it removed the stains. He now uses all Zaino products after that experience.

I use einszett cockpit cleaner followed by the leather care product from einszett. Also have used the Zaino product, both equally good in my estimation.

There's Lexol and then there's everything else. Lexol I find to be by far the best product out there - I use it on my household furniture, it absorbs deep into the leather and does not feel greasy and lasts quite a while. It can restore heavily dried out leather remarkebly. I've tried the Zaino products worked OK but not as good, I think there's alot of hype/cult regarding their products. Sometimes I feel like some of their paint products are duplicates of the same thing.
Regardless, my faith in Lexol came from using it on my GTO seats - if you've ever riden in or owned one you'd know that it is very thick, heavy duty, DRY, type leather. After 80,000 miles and 4 years it was literally better than new, it transformed that dry/thick leather into rich supple stuff. No joke.

I then tried the Z9 with a different towel (after already cleaning with Lexol). My towel was BROWN with dirt after using the Zaino Z9. I showed my wife and she did not care honestly.... But she thought it was interesting.
Seems everyone has different experiences.
I say try them all and see what you like best.

one thing i noticed Maguire gold class leather cleaner/conditioner is they are very runny and the coat doesn't last.
So I've been using Lexol now and I'm pretty pleased with it.

I use the same leather conditioner/cleaner/treatment that came with my sofas. No smell uses a mink oil, drys great, not shiny, and leaves the leather very soft.

Forgot to mention - I had used Leatherique in the past as well, but it is expensive (the most expensive of all), and takes a hell of a lot of time and elbow grease and the right conditions (meaning hot and sunny and literally baking in the sun) to work properly. I can usually hop in my car 1 hour after using lexol, and its cheaper by far.
