A quick description, what you used it on, a link to the manufacture would be good and any photos that show before and after would be cool.

I tend to use baby wipes to actually 'clean' the leather then a good quality food to put some goodness back in.

you jest but I live about 1/2 a mile from Hollands Pies( one of the most famous makers of pies in the Country and sponsors of the newly promoted Burnley!). Driving home on Thursdays is horrendous as they are making steak puddings and the smell is just amazing, I'm always starving hungry when I get home.

Ive just got the Gliptone liquid leather stuff and started on my seats yesterday. It has completely changed the texture of them from the hard shiny state they were in to a very soft mat finish. Not completely finished the process yet but from what I have seen so far it is very very good.

As Botang, Gliptone cleaner. Particularly effective on a very grimey steering wheel when I bought the car.
However, I use Connolly Hide Food for conditioning - originally developed for Rolls Royce upholstery. Can't remember who / when it was recommended to me, but it is FANTASTIC. Lovely thick consistancy that I rub in with my hands - the warmth from the hands really helps. Zip
