I've always had good results with gliptone stuff.

I got a second hand set of seats which needed a bit of work, started with lots of soapy water with an application of laundry vanish on the stitching to bring it back towards white.

After that lots of maguires leather conditioner.

This is year 2 and in the very hot weather went over the seats with good old fashioned black shoe polish (mostly melted in which was great) and that seemed to work also.

Basic rule is get all the dirt off with a good soap/degreaser before moving onto polish or conditioners

Doesnt boot polish come off on your clothes when you sit on the seat?

if its really warm it soaks in and you can buff it off with a soft cloth, lots of buffing but worth it.  We had no residue but I wouldn't trust if you are a fan of white linen clothes....

Get a standard "leather cleaner", get all the dirt out, then apply gold label and buff out when it's had a chance to soak in.

Most cars get significant wear on the drivers bolster- you have some options on how to deal with this.
1 - swap the drivers and passengers seat backs.
2 - get some repair stuff from furniture clinic to fill in and repair cracks and wear.

I've done 1 & 2, results were pretty decent. And it's very easy to do- it just takes a bit of time.
