From best auto detailing tips:
"Virtually all car leathers of today (anything made in the last 15-20 years depending on manufacturer and car) will be finished with a clear protective coating for added durability and ease of care.
This means that you are not actually dealing with natural leather, but a natural leather that has been coated with a synthetic clear coating.
For this reason, I am of the professional opinion that keeping your car's leather upholstery clean is the most important factor in maintaining its original beauty and health. Most of you will, or have become overly concerned with conditioning your car leather at the expense of actually keeping it clean.
Any dressing or conditioner will be mostly superficial and temporary in nature, and will mostly be for cosmetic reasons to create added shine and an added level of smoothness to the touch."

Most modern leather seats are coated with vinyl. You're not treating leather but a plastic coating.
There's a lot of information on this. You might find it interesting.

How well does leather spray work. I still have some Zymol and was thinking of getting some mothers spray. I figure spray on the big spots, let it soak for a bit, then wipe off. Small spots get the wet cloth. I was going to either use Mequiars or Surf City. I have been very happy with Surf City Leather Conditioner, it smells nice, non staining and works well.

One trick I have used with Leather conditioner/serum is applying it completely with your hands (with gloves on) and massage it into the leather, just like you would rubbing lotion into your skin. It really brings out the natural oils in the leather (skin) and is the only way I apply conditioner now.

I've tried a # of different leather conditioners (Gliptone, Meguairs, Lexol...) and when I tried Duragloss cleaner and also the separate leather conditioner, I was impressed as well. Cost is reasonable and the result was better than anything I've tried in the past.
Give Duragloss a shot too.

Leatherique is the best. tried a bunch (Lexol, Meguiar's, Mother's, etc.), but Leatherique gives the best results - slather on, work in with rubber gloves, put trash bags on seats, and bake in the sun for a day. repeat if necessary ...
German Nivea cream (has lanolin, petroleum in the US version) works great, but not on perforated leather - its thick and clogs in the little holes.
