pep boys.
you'll want the pH leather cleaner (orange bottle) and the leather conditioner (brown bottle). they also make a product called vinylex (blue bottle) for cleaning vinyl/plastic.
if you can't find it locally, they sell the products online. see link for more info.<ul><li><a href="http://www.lexol.com/auto.html">Lexol</a></li></ul>

Leather care...
Gentlemen,
Leather care is very simple. Oil or wax.
Many products exist that say they are for leather. Unless you are going to coat your leather in plastic, ala many "leather" steering wheels, you need to keep it from drying out, and/or have a film of some type of moisture barrier on it (wax). Neutral shoe polish (Kiwi) will frequently clean well. Test any leather product on a small, less visible, area before you glob it on. It may darken light colored leathers. I use vitamin E oil on my high quality leather steering wheels (the more pure, the more expensive). Any product that contains lanolin is good. If you apply oily products to your seats, and they do not absorb it quickly, be prepared for oil stains on your clothes. I use a product called Leather CPR on my interior leather. I can't speak more highly of their product. All good leather cleaners (lexol (their cleaner.. their conditioner is oil based), saddle soap, are glycerin based. You can use them, but they are a bit of a pain in the *** because they leave a sudsy film that I like to rinse off, so it becomes a two step process.
To treat my high quality leather, I just dust it off, and use the CPR product.<ul><li><a href="http://www.leathercpr.com/">http://www.leathercpr.com/</a</li></ul>
