What does everyone recommend for putting the life back into my dull looking black leather seats?

My favorite is the product from Zaino, I believe it's called Liquid Leather. The McGuire's spray leather stuff isn't bad either but it's just not quite Zaino!

Zaino makes a good leather treatment. I use Adam's leather reconditioner. Makes the car smell new!

I've been using Lexoyl on my seats. They nice and soft stay soft, with a sheen to them.

If your seats are highly neglected then Leathrique would be your best choice as it replaces the lost oils. If leather is in relatively good condition, then dozens are available. The newest release from Poorboys, Leather Cleaner, is very good as an all-in-one product (cleaner and protectant). I personally love Conolly's but realize its price point might be considered steep.
