What do you recommend for cleaning or conditioning this so called "high quality" leather we have?

Letherique. It is a PIA to use, but well worth it.

Formula 2000 by Turtle Wax works wonders, too. Lemon Pledge is another good choice.

Same here. Spray a bit on a clean white cotton cloth (tee shirts work great), and rub it into the leather. Never found anything that works better. It's what Al Knoch uses and recommends, which is how I came to try it.

Live well,

I have used the Lexol products in the past but just tried these Duragloss products and love them. I specifically tried the leather stuff and works great. I have no connection with Duragloss products at all, just got some samples from a guy at my car show.
