Thanks guys, I'm going to try the Lexol first. I have a leather Harley seat with the flamed design stitched in.

I have a gun channel on YouTube, and I did a video on this product. I use it on my guns and my leather. My seats, jackets, you name it. It's great on plastics, vinyl, wood, you name it.

It's called Ballistol. In the description is a link.

I have used Dr. Leather and Zaino. Both have a real "new" leather smell and leave a rich non-greasy finish when buffed after application. Works on leather vinel and plastic. But you can't go wrong with Lexol.

Armor All makes vinyl crack, if exposed to UV. Learned that the hard way on my boat. Use Aerospace 303 on vinyl.

Doc Baileys Leather Black restores any leather to new, and waterproofs it. Never had a leather seat, so not sure how slick it is.

Armor All draws the amoliants to the surface and that's what maks it shine. The problem is the amoliants are what keep the plastic flexible. It prematurely ages the plastic. Bad to use Armor All.

Leather or Vinyl, try "Mothers back to black". It is to treat vinyl, rubber, plastic and so on. It will keep it's color deep, it keeps it maluable or soft and wards off any ill affects from UV rays and oxidation and is water resistant as well.
