I like Dr Leather wipes.
Would highly recommend them.

+1 for Dr Leather.. it's all you need

I'd also use something like Autoglym Leather Care Balm once or twice a year to keep the leather supple and not dry out which can lead to the small cracks and hazing that you tend to find in some cars

Not to hijack the thread but can these products be used on the steering wheel too? Mines got a bit glossy and quite annoying

There ideal for it mate

I find the Autoglym Leather care balm just sits on top of the coating on top of the leather. This just makes it really shiny. I use Autoglym leather cleaner and a paintbrush to rub it in. I wouldn't recommend the Autoglym stuff, it just becomes shiny in a few days. Going to try Meguiars next.

Leather care balm would work wonders on high quality leather, but it doesn't do much for the leather in the VWs.

I have some autoglym leather cleaner. Once clean, condition the leather with this stuff:

Gliptone cleaner and conditioner is the best

It's been discussed before, the leather in our VW's is coated so there is no need to feed or condition the leather, any of these products will sit on the top and make for a greasy feel and/or shiny look.

A leather cleaner like Dr Leather is perfect for the job of keeping the leather clean without adding a shine or leaving it greasy or tacky
You could also add some GTechniq L1 Leather Guard to the high wear areas ie bolsters

Second this, simply wouldn't use anything else.
