buy a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner and then buy a separate trim dressing/treatment.

I find that Sonax Extreme Leather Care foam, and using a very soft brush (like a shoe brush) to gently scrub can yield amazing results.

I am going to be testing out Leatherique soon with respect to its ability to soften older leather.

I am using Angel Wax AnGel at the moment and find the finish on trim too shiny without a lot of buffing (to the extent that I am not sure any product is actually left on the trim LOL)

For cleaning interior, I have Sonax (will check what it is exactly at home) in a clear trigger bottle which has a citrus scent. Couldn't find the right Meguiars interior cleaner and so I just grabbed it at short notice.

For leather care, I tried the reformulated BMW leather care kit recently but found it to smell too much like lavender for my liking (and prices have gone up).

Autoglym I had good results but it is difficult to work with vs. others. If you don't buff at the right time and it turns dull/whiteish streaks or deposit visible.

Meguiars leather cream (gold class) I found to mark perforations and stitching.

Oh, I forgot to add, Swissvax is hands-down the BEST leather cleaner out there. But its expensive, which is why I only use it for certain parts like Steering Wheels and gearknobs. For large areas like seats, I use the Sonax because its a more affordable option.

I've seen a few videos on YouTube about Swissvax. Seems to do an awesome job. However the products aren't the cheapest.
