My personal favorite is Lexol Conditioner.
The conditioner is the BROWN bottle. The pH Balanced Cleaner is the ORANGE bottle.
Remember, it is better to use a cleaner and THEN a conditioner rather than simply conditioning. In short, when you simply condition without removing surficial dirts and oils, you work those soils further into the porosity of the leather. Leather is skin. You wouldn't go out and work for a day out in the yard and then toss on some lotion to make your skin better... you'd bathe and then put on lotion. Same principal.

I just obtained one quart each of Leatherique Leather Cleaner, and Leatherique Reconditioner. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. The stuff is pretty expensive. For the price, it had better be good!!! I got a deal and still paid $35.00 for the two quarts.
Leatherique is recommended by Rolls Royce, Jag, Bentley etc.

Hey RP, do these products leave a glossy finnish? I like the factory matte finnish but have not found a product that will do this. Also are there any products that doesn't leave a glossy finnish on dashes? Thanks for you input or anyone elses as well.

I usually clean and condition my seats at night and then wipe off the excess conditioner in the morning.
As for the Vinylex product, it's not bad, and also does dry to a semi-gloss look. Way better than Armour-All that's for sure.
