Looking after the leather

Any recommendations for products to keep the leather interior in tip-top condition? I've used Megs Gold Class leather cleaner but have found the leather seems to be hardening up and getting shiny. Should I a) be using this more often or b) be doing something else?

If b) any suggestions for products and techniques hugely appreciated.

Given the propensity for Potter Jr to explode all over the interior of your car, any recommendations you have on cleaning the seats are to be taken seriously Shocked

On that note, apologies for the twisty turny detour Embarassed

Thats what I use, Gliptone. Liquid Leather Gentle Cleaner to clean the leather properly then Liquid Leather Conditioner to protect it and reinstate the leather smell.

I've got some Autoglym leather cleaner, but it's a bit pants TBH.

Where's the best source for the Gliptone stuff?
