at first I thought they were the "before" pictures but then there was no"after" pics.

Upon closer inspection, looks like they only cleaned the left side. I'd still be afraid to sit back there

that's the oldest trick in the book. Find a car in a scrap yard that is just dirty.. then "clean" it with your cleaner to show how awesome it is. You could have got the same results with a rag damp with water.

Above in the meguiars thread I have listed their leather care kit...make mine look cleaner than the day I bought my car!!

I love it because it gives it the new look all over again. I let mine dry & have no probs with the way it feels.

Don't get me wrong, Megs makes great off the shelf product, but if you have not tried the pro products yet......welll. Oh, forgot to mention that not only does the PB Leather Stuff look great but it brings back that hint of new leather. Wish we had higher quality leather in our cars. Makes a huge difference.

Lexol is another decent off the shelf product. It was my choice untill I was turned onto Poorboys products. I take the lotion and rub it into the leather by hand, let sit for 30 minutes or so depending on the temperature and if the car is under cover. Then gently wipe with a soft cotton shirt.
