Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner is a great product, but you can also use an all purpose cleaner diluted 10:1.

I'm not a fan of combo products like cleaner/conditioners. They're typically less effective at both jobs vs doing 2 separate steps (cleaning and protecting).

I have the griots leather care (they're local) and have been happy with it, more of a conditioner than a cleaner, but seems to clean as well. I've heard good things about lexol as well. I'll have to try the standard interior cleaner next time I clean my seats and see if there is any difference.
 
+1 for Meguiar's Gold Class. I've used it for years on all my vehicles' leather, and it works well on furniture, too!
 
Switched from meguiars to Blue Magic cleaner and their conditioner. Excellent products and slightly cheaper

Are you guys putting lots of pressure when cleaning the seats? I'm not 100% sure that this dull spot on my seat was there but I noticed after I had scrubbed a small 1" sections of my seat and the leather seemed more dull then the rest.

After that I just moistened my MF towel and wiped the seat gently to clean with with Chemical Guys Conditioner/cleaner.
 
I'm also a fan of the previously mentioned Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.

This comes in a spray bottle, so all I do is lightly mist my seats and other leather covered surfaces and wipe off with a microfiber cloth. I wouldn't say I use a lot of pressure in wiping.

I've used this product in my Lexus and now my 4Runner with excellent results.
 
This the best stuff I have found for my auto interiors. I have used bunch including Lexol, Bick 4 etc... and this is my favorite. Goes on easy and smells great. Just tried it on my new T4R Softex and it worked great. Looks better than it did coming out of the dealership. UV protection and brings out a nice deep color.

5:1 distilled water and Woolite (I use the $1 store stuff) in a spray bottle. Use a soft toothbrush to clean.

I use leather masters strong cleaner and their protection cream. I also use it on the arm rest areas. This is on my tan 2015 Limited leather and it still looks new. I clean it with diluted woolite, about 1 part woolite to 8 parts water. I rinse with water. The protection cream is only needed a couple times per year, in my case.

It isn't shiny or slick and gives the leather an original appearance and feel.

Edit: Between the leather master and woolite cleans I use water only and wipe the seats and blot dry. This helps keep hydrated. During hot months I do this every two weeks and sometimes put a saturated towel on the floor to give the seats moisture. You can find this info on the internet.

If you use a lot of pressure or a stiff brush you can ruin the top layer. I use soft clothes and light pressure.

I do the 6:1 ratio and clean everything but glass and carpet with it.
The cleaning portion of the job doesn't matter a whole lot, they all clean just as well minus the REALLY dirty interiors.

Conditioning is the more important part. I use Zaino/Four Star/DP/whatever is closest.
