I'm particular about my cars, so the interior/leather never really gets all that dirty.
Given this, is there ONE product you would recommend to care for the leather?
Or would I be better off with two products.

Re: 3-in-1 Leather Products?
I used it yesterday for the 1st time in a while... The scent isn’t actually that bad to be anymore. Maybe it’s grown on me. Lol.

I first tried conditioner + coating last year on my X5, using WG Conditioner followed by a Mckees Coating. I wanted to moisturize prior to coating and figured I would observe if I thought the coating failed. My observation is that the coating lasted just fine over the dedicated conditioner, best I can tell. So I will probably use a two step process for expensive leather in the future: one of the conditioners followed by coating since it seems like it works.
I don’t see any purpose in combining WG conditioner with PBL Balm. And I like the Balm better too which is why I haven’t topped with the coating.
Thanks for the clarification Acura. I think that we're in agreement...PBL Balm is the best for us.

PBL Balm is very expensive. It looks like a jar of car wax. Isn't this harder to use than sprays? Aren't most of us using these products on plastic coated leather? Sounds like a job for 303.

Bumping this up. I’m looking at the blackfire leather complete mainly for my Jeep. I have heritage tan leather (love it) and want something with uv protection. Does the Blackfire provide uv protection? The description only states it leaves a protection, doesn’t clarify if that means uv.

Re: 3-in-1 Leather Products?
I ended up ordering it anyway, looks like a great product and I’m out of Lexol. Figure drop it down to one bottle for leather.

I wanted to thank everyone who recommended Griot's Leather Care Spray.
It was inexpensive, easy to use, effective and the results (and smell) were fantastic.
Most importantly for a DIYer, it didn't require multiple products to achieve solid results.
The leathers in modern mainstream cars are highly processed and coated. Unless you have a higher end vehicle with 'real' leather, I'm not sure why you would need anything other than this.

Been using Griot 3 in 1 cream, is the spray that much better?

Re: 3-in-1 Leather Products?
In general, a separate cleaner and condition would be more effective than a AIO or 3 in 1 product. There's also probably less chance of separation over time with dedicated products.
