    Mequires, is the best I think, because others like lexol i think leave a coloration. so for black leather i go with the 2 in one bottle that mequires makes, its both cleaner and conditioner and works great and quick.

    I know it's cheap but I always use the armoral leather wipes on mine and have had no complaints.

    I "used" to use Lexol cleaner and protect-ant. I did not like the cleaner as you had to "shampoo" the leather. Which means rinsing with alot of water. Then when I put the protect-ant on it felt sticky. Yes I buffed and buffed and buffed some more. The plus side was the clean leather smell the next day when I opened the door and was greeted with leather smell. BUT 1Z does a better job. No water to get into the stitching, and no sticky feeling after. I really really like 1Z. Buy it and try it. If you don't like it return it or I will buy it from you.

    Meguiars leather conditioner is the way to go, better than armor all leather wipes in my opinion.

    Woolite. Mix 6:1 water and woolite. Does a great job and is cheap. Apply your favorite conditioner.

    i use lexol cleaner and conditioner.
    on my 00gt the leather always felt sticky for a couple days after i would do it.

    on the mach1 the leather seems as though it soaks up the conditioner really quick and leaves the leather nice and soft. never sticky like it used to in my 00
