Default Leather maintenance

On my new C7, not sure what to use to maintain the interior leather on the dashboard, doors, etc. Any product that anyone would recommend? Thanks.

Only the 3LT has leather on the dash and doors, the lower trim levels are vinyl on those areas. I use Leather Masters products on leather.

It depends on what you consider real leather. None of it is the leather people think of. It's a manufacturered product. It does not require the conditioner that old cars did to keep from cracking.

This is correct, all C7 leather is top coated. A damp cloth is all that is recommended in the manual.
