Don't know whether it's the best but I use Zymol leather conditioner and it's very good. Price varies from £14 to £21.

Baby wipes 50p

Seriously. Try them before spending any money on other products. Clean all your plastic trim, dashboard, pedals, the lot with them whilst you are at it.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I use Connolly Leather Care Kit which I have had for years and I have used it on many cars, jackets and leather furniture. Cost about £25 and includes hide food, would recommend it.

I have used these to get ink pen off cream leather but then followed up with proper leather care to ensure the leather is treated afterwards.
