I've tried several regular, over the counter things & I wasn't impressed by them. Mequire's, Lexol, etc. Lexol has a funky chemical smell, Mequire's was just a pain to use, but has a nice leather smell. Something about the consistancy made it hard to apply...like it was a paste that wouldn't spread.
Dura Gloss leather protectant has a great leather smell, but it has a lot of mink oil which leaves the seats slick. It's easy to apply. That's my choice for local purchase...available at NAPA auto parts.
I also use Klasse VLR on the rest of the plastic & vinyl. Luckily, I can get the old version in Texas since we don't have the pollution gestapo (yet) that a lot of other states have. I simply love this stuff in the oil based form. It cures to a low sheen & smells good. The water based version is junk & a total waste of money.
Leatherique & Klasse I had to order online.
BTW, you only need to treat the part where you sit with leather treatment, since that's the only part that's leather. The sides & backs of the seat are vinyl/fake leather. Use cheap stuff on those parts...
For best results, use terry cloth applicators with all of the above.
