Default question on cleaning and conditioning my seats

hey guys, first time going to finally clean and condition my seats after 2 years...yea i know...terrible, so now my question is which brand or products are good? I read on the how to section and it says it recommends the leather company or something like that, but I was wondering if anyone have any experiences with

1) Connolly?

2) Lexol?

3) Pinnicle?

which is good? and I don't want to have a shinny look, kinda want it to look like how it was OEM. Also is there anyway to get or smooth out the butt print on the seat?? Thanks in advance!

I use the Lexol Cleaner followed by Lexol Conditioner.

They work well and are readily available.

Leather Masters Trio will make your seats feel brand new.
Includes: Cleaner, conditioner, protectant.

The 3 bottle sampler from detailers domain has enough product to do your seats ~5-7 times. You could also do your doorcards and shiftboot.

This system leaves a shine free matte look. No squeaking when getting in/out.

I've been meaning to pick up the Leather Masters stuff.

I do like the Lexol cleaner, but their conditioner just leaves too much oil behind.

Does it? hmm good to know, I hear mixed reviews, some say it doesn't leave it shinny and oily and others say it does....

I don't know why people like lexol so much. It leaves my seats greasy even after a wipe down with a dry towel. Maybe it helps prevent cracking?
