I've been detailing cars for years. As a matter of fact, I just detailed the interior on my 95 c4 which included the seats.
The condition of your leather will predicate the stuff you use. I found most of the stuff you buy intended for leather just doesn't work. Whatever you do, don't be too aggressive.

Removing the dirt is critical before you apply any kind of conditioner. Test the cleaner before you go nuts. Make sure it doesn't remove color.

Just picked up some "Hyper Clean" by Lithium. Haven't had the chance to use it on either Vette yet.
I have a tin of "Leather Love" for use after cleaning is done.

The leather in my "new" '89 is in excellent condition so I want to keep it clean and conditioned; hope this stuff works well.

Research saddle soap and mink oil. You will find them in stores that have a shoe polish inventory.
