I picked up some leather cleaner from Ikea for my lounge and used it in the car, worked pretty well.

OK Ive tried a few things.

For cleaning, Maguires leather foam, and then hit it with some Maguires leather cream.

The cream is the best thing I have ever used.

I've used the cheapo spray-foam 'Interior Cleaner' from K-Mart or $2 Shop with good results on my old HSV and now my 'new' Ghia. Use a nail brush to work it in and an old T shirt to wipe off

Leather's great all year round, it's on my "gotta have it" list now.
If the seats aint covered in dead bovine, she's not the car for me.

The secret in summer is fully sick window tint. :

I've never had a problem with it. It takes all of about one minute to cool down after putting the climate on or the windows down. :
