Having light magnolia leather like you ,I use Autoglym cleaner and care cream. I asked about this and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a clean favourite .
I am a bit anal about my leather and have found this stuff good enough ,the leather is still relatively new looking tho,Seamus,doh....

Give Gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner, it's well worth a try.

Try going to an equestrian shop, and buy some tack cleaner wipes.
They also do conditioning wipes, I can't remember the brand though.

I use "Zymol" leather cleaner as here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ZYMOL-LEATHER-C

It worked great on the Beemer and brought filthy leather up like new.
It does not have a conditioner included though so you will need a seperate conditioner. Zymol do sell a matching conditioner and its meant to be the D's B's, but I personally haven't tried it and just use Halfuauds own stuff which is OK.

I use the Gliptone leather cleaner & conditioner on my car seats (and bike leathers), and it is the best stuff I have used. I believe it is recommended by the Classic Rolls Royce Club(so I was told) really good stuff. I bought my last lot from

Another vote for Gliptone here but I also use an equestrian leather feed and cleaner to improve the softness of the leather and increased resistance to cracking nerd

I haven't tried this but I quite fancy the idea of soft leather for my bottom, particularly if it does increase resistance to cracking 'cos it can be embarrasing when that happens. hehe

I use gliptone as well, it puts a bit of that leather smell back.

Treat the seats with 303 aerospace protectant as well from time to time.

I found in order to get magnolia leather really clean that pure soap flakes were the best - dissolve some in hot water and then use a firm kitchen sponge to rub gently onto the leather, let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse off. When dry apply a copious layer of leather conditioner like Gliptone.
