Finally getting a car with leather seats, never had them before so can someone fill me in on the do's and donts with leather? I went to buy conditioner but there were several brands, which one is the best? Should I also get a cleaner? or a cleaner/conditioner in one? Ive heard of some people saying cleaners are not needed, my interior is always super clean since I never carry anything with me so I don't want to buy the cleaner unless I actually need it. Any other tips would be cool, thanks.

You don't really need the cleaner if your interior is always clean, and you don't spill anything on them. I condition my leather seats once a week, but I'm anal. It seems to work though, I've done it once a week for five years in my t-bird, and they're nice and soft with not a single crack in them :D
 
Lexol makes a really good leather conditioner. When you condition the seats it helps to warm them up. You can use a hair dryer. When leather warms it expands, thus opening the pores. When the pores open the conditioner can enter the leather better, and do its job. Don't overheat the seats, just get them nice and warm.
