What to use on Leather Seats and Dash?

I just bought a diamond graphite 2004 infinity g35 coupe. It has black interrior. I was just wondering what product you reccomend to use for cleaning and conditioning the leather seats? Also what do you reccomend for the dashboard and door panels? I know they always have your standard sprays at autozone and such but after they wear off they tend to make the dashboard seem faded...they make it look great and shiny at first but in my experience they end up drying up the dash and fading it over time.....

thanks fella's

For the seats, Leatherique Leather Care kit is a great product from what I hear and so is the Connolly set. I have the Connolly but haven't gotten around to trying it out yet.

As for the dash and door panels, IIRC if you want more of a natural look, go with Optimum Protectant Plus but if you want a deeper finish, go with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

i have noticed the stock leather is pretty sensative to leather cleaner/conditioners
i have tried a few over the counter like meguiers and mothers leather care and if you firmly rub in the paste it will lighten the color ( i have stone interior)

Get Zaino. Best stuff i have ever used. $20 off-line for the 2 step process. The interior smells amazing and your seats are soft and supple.

Dash, i use meguires quick interior detail. Best stuff i have used. I hate the greasy look. I just want it 'fresh' looking and thats what this stuff does.

^^^sounds like i will be happy with my zaino.

the interior does smell nice of my G, i guess thats cause the previous owner used zaino religously, thats the reason i'm dropping 200 bucks on a package and some towels.

Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather

Meguiars Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant

Works/Looks great.

Anything from a quality detailing manufacture will be great.

Actually what you are treating isn't leather. Best to use something like Aerospace 303 protectant.

^^^Zaino is only by internet order from them directly.

heres the website http://www.zainostore.com/

its pretty reasonably priced, buy a full package if you want value. I'm in Canada so its a little more expensive here but i just ordered some last week, should be here tomorrow or Friday i hope, i'll be in Orlando for a few days so i want to try this zaino leather stuff right before i leave, just so i can see the change.
