Black Magic makes a good product as well.
Make sure you condition and protect your dash and leather seating because once the sun starts to fade and crack them 10 years down the road it will be quite the unpleasant sight.

Same here. The only thing about the leather in our Mustangs is, the seat is not made entirely of leather. Only the part you actually sit in is leather. The rest is....well, pleather, or vinyl made to look like leather.
Now the leather seats in my Conversion Van rock! Even after 7 years, you still smell leather when you get into my Van. I wished Ford would have put better quality of leather in Mustangs, but I guess that would jack up the price.

Lexol makes good stuff. It's best to use the Lexol cleaner first, and the the conditioner.

I've heard good things about that combo. The conditioner goes a long way to keeping the leather supple and wrinkle free. It's not cheap, but I plan on getting some. They sell both at the local Advance Auto for about $20 a bottle.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Yea both work good. Keeps the seats looking new. The cleaner works good because it foams up. It works good if you use a polishing pad.
