I've always heard that Armor All results in cracking and poor looking interior. I have yet to find a good site for overall reviews (Although, CR says Black Magic liquid wax is the best liquid and Turtle Carnaube T-6 best paste).

Any thoughts?

Cleaner: Woolite diluted 10:1 with distilled water.

My BIL, who is in the vinyl and leather repair business, uses Simple Green diluted as a cleaner before he redyes interiors.

i use the lexol cleaner and lexol conditioner and it works fine for my leather. i haven't had experience w/ any other leather cleaners but seems like these work just fine for me.

for cleaning and dressing the dash i use aerospace 303 protectant. doesn't leave a weird looking shine and it blocks UV rays. only place i see it selling at a B&M is the EMS store, otherwise you can get them online.

Tanner's Preserve Conditioner and Cleaner is probably one of the for leather hand's down. It's designed for high-end saddlery.

That said...chances are only the seating surface of your seats are leather at best.

Armor-all is a horrible product IMHO. Meguiar's makes a good plastic protectant, but I like 303 Protectant on my dash and door panels.

Also I would not trust CR for good reviews on this kind of stuff. A consumer has no clue really.

Try autopia.net or the meg's forums. Autogeek has great pricing and how-to's as well.

I do a little detailing:
