Maybe better leather, lol.
I recommend Meguiars products but without a dobut Lexol. Make sure you buy the cleaner and the cream.
Or make sure you get the dirt out with some soap (little soap) and water (ph affects leather). then the cream.

And no shit, use your hands. If you use a cloth for the cream, all the damn nutrients get into the cloth, not the leather.

Oh, extra free tip. STAY OUT THE SUNLIGHT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Hope this helps.

I have been using Malco carwash for years now and I feel that is by far the best stuff on the market (although I have heard nothing but greatness about Zaino brothers, just waiting till I run out of the other stuff before I give it a shot). Their leather cleaner and conditioner keep my ebony interior extra soft, crack-free, and has a really nice shine to it. Another added bonus is that leaves no residue, and the car constantly smells brand new!!
Here is the link

All of their products are top of the line especially their tire dressing and leather products, the only one i do not like is their window cleaner, always leaving streaks on the tints. Well just my .02
Peace

I was just reading reviews of leather care products over at Autopia. Along with the usual suspects Lexol and Zaino, several of the folks over there really liked Einszett's "Lederpflege" product.

Just another reason to have a good cloth interior instead of leather.

I would have taken cloth over "leather" if they offered it.

Same here!!! And those OEM Honda recaro's cost too much!!

I use Mother's Leather Care. It's really good and it does NOT leave a CRAZY shine on the seats and cleans really well. Even the blue stains you leave on your black seats with your jeans!!!

I used Meguiars products to condition my ebony seats. I don't have any cracking, even though I only condition the seats every 1-2 months. If you consitently park your car under the sun, you should cover your seats when you're parked to limit the damaging effects of UV and heat. Of course, it looks a bit tacky... The reason why I don't have cracking seats because I park my car in an underground garage at work and when I get home I slip it into the garage ..no sun, no damage

Einszett Lederflege works pretty well and leaves a nice, non greasy finish. Smells like carnauba wax, too.

I recommend Maguirs too. It smells good and looks matt. Why need exotic products when you have this affordable domestic?

I found it easier to use after proper dilution with water (preferably, distill water). About 1:2 ratio.
