What leather condioner do you use?

Incidentally, I switched away from Lexol conditioner because it was leaving white residue on my leather door panels. LeatherVital got rid of the white junk and has stayed dark, consistent and non-shiny for the past few months.
I can't vouch for Zaino, although it seems pretty popular here, but I think you'll really like the "Vital"!

My boss uses the Zaino Leather in a Bottle, and says he winds up sliding all over the place, as if he put Armor All on the seats. I wouldn't like that, although NJS's interior looks brand new and mint. How is the Griot's compared to the sticky Lexol finish?

Leathermaster LeatherVital. Best conditioner I've used - by far. Used to use Lexol; have used many others, but LeatherVital is the king.
In terms of a cleaner... I haven't found a good one. Have tried a lot of the cleaners, too, including Leathermaster Strong Cleaner. None of them work very well.
I've become a huge fan of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for cleaning plastic and vinyl. The package says it works on leather shoes, so I wonder if you can use them on leather seats. Anyone have any experience with the Magic Eraser on leather?

I tried that Leatherique on my 944's seats. Left a sticky mess and didn't do much for me. I even left it sitting in the sun during a summer day. Maybe the leather was treated and too tough?

damn you guys are bored.......
2 pages in one day over what leather cleaner to use ?
OK - I used Zaino, its ok, smells a little wierd and worked well, not great. Griot's - not really anything, The Woolite in water as suggested is nice, leaves a clean fresh feel, soft and natural. I found it a little smooth and slippery (not greasy) but in about a day it really just feels clean and naural looking... not treated or shined up - yukk..... plus if you miss a spot or two you wont even notice.
The down side is the seats seem to collect dirt faster (cream color in the truck) not sure what that is, could be the dogs have muddy feet
For me, its cheap always on hand, easy to use and gives good results with no nasty after taste - WHAT, you dont taste test??
