They all aren't bad ones
1995 Ferarri 355 Spider .. 24K miles .. Daughter & son-in-laws toy.
Was last polished out 2 summers ago and since then very well kept up. Its single stage paint and you don't want to go polishing too much.
1) Washed with Dawn
2) Lightly over with Optimum PoliSeal on a black pad just to lift the minor oxidization.
3) 4* UPP x 2
4) Tires washed with Awesome then dressed with Optimum Tire Gel
5) Mats shampooed with the "Little Green Machine" and spot cleaning with the Woolite solution.
6) leather cleaned with the Woolite Solution and dressed ( notice I didn't say conditioned , cuz you don't condition coated leather ) with Turtle Wax Gel. <--- yeep no shit ..
7) Windows cleaned with Meguiars M120
Pix to enjoy ..

Interesting combination of products, but it looks great.
What gave you the idea to use Turtle Wax on the seats?

Interesting choice of products for the leather seats. I could be wrong ( not the first time by any means) but as far as I know Ferarri upholstery is Aniline pigmented leather not covered leather

Connolly used a lacquer-based dye on the leather. They’ve stopped in recent years, but almost all but the newest Ferraris have it.
You can place a little bead of water on the leather. If the leather absorbs the water then it is uncoated. If the water beads on the leather then it is coated. However uncoated leather that has been conditioned with a wax may bead water also.
You can also lightly scratch the leather. If you can change the texture of the leather by lightly rubbing your fingernail over it is uncoated (almost create a suede like appearance).
The seats bead water but "some" of the other parts show the scratching scenareo
