I am not too picky on the brand... its how it smells is most important to me. I used Maguires Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. Seems to go on like Armoural and leaves a nice finish and scent. I was using a very expensive gel I bought for my bike jacket but it smelled too much like medicine.... .and yes, I only do the perf. trim on the seats and steering wheel all other vinyl parts I just wipe down with a moist towel weekly and vinyl condition about once every 6 months....

You should primarily use water. Wipe them down with a wet rag every month, then treat with Lexol leather conditioner every 6 months. More often than that is not necessary. Good Luck!

I use Meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner every four to six months. Between leather treatments, I wipe them down with a damp towel.
The Meguiars smells nice.

Turlte Wax Platinum. The Ridge is new so I haven't done it yet, but I like the results for the Infiniti.

I ONLY use Lexol products and have on all cars over the past 10+ years.

I use the Zaino leather conditioner and it works really well. The smell is nice, my wife thinks it brought back that new car smell. I agree! I only needed about 1/3 of a bottle for the whole RL. Just wipe on, no buffing necessary.

I've never personally tried the Zaino leather product but have heard many good things about it. I am a VERY loyal Zaino user though. Just did a Z-5 treatment on the truck yesterday. Now my S is jealous so I'm going to have to break down and polish her up Zaino-style as well.

You can probably get away with a lot less than that. I've never counted number of times I've used a bottle, but I'd bet I can go over an interior of the RL maybe 15-20 times with one bottle of conditioner. Probably about the same for the spray cleaner (which has the same smell and works really well).

some have used 303 protectant, and its very good, if you do a search for 303 protectant, you will see alot of ROC's are using it to protect their interior.
