I do not recommend combo fluids, keep them separate.
For cleaning, I use simple dish soap diluted in water. Then use a hard sponge, dip the end of the sponge and rub like hell. Then wipe dry with another cloth. I find formal leather cleaner products like Lexol (glycerine-based) simplly do not work.... just not strong enough.
For conditioning, I do not recommend Lexol as it stinks and caused the leather in my car to "relax" and actually have sag lines. Best products here are Mothers or Meguires simple conditioner.
BTW... I was never sure leather conditioner really soaked in because of the coatings they put on these leather seats nowadays...... anyone with information on this issue? I guess the Lexol did as it made my leather sag. Hmmm.....

Cleaning, though pretty darn clean now, Then conditioning.
If one wants to maintain a low sheen, new leather look:
1 - No on Lexol. No on Leatherique.
2 - Keep the seats clean to begin with. Periodically (2 to 3 times a year) clean with 5% baby shampoo solution or a good cleaner like Porsche's own or Leather Masters Soft Cleaner.
