    I have a pair of old leather seats out of an NSX I’ve had for 15 years. They are dusty but the leather is not split or for that matter badly cracked.

    Any guidance on how best to clean up and condition the leather?

    Do I just start with a dilute soap and water and then use like a conditioner or something? literally I’ve never done this and I figured this would be a safe / low risk way to learn proper techniques before trying to properly care for my other car’s leather.

    Appreciate any guidance.

    Is the general consensus Leatherique is way to go?
    Years ago I heard there was a mixed bag with their products and instead consider Lexol.
    I have no dog in that fight...just trying to figure out where to start.

    Check out Leather Rejuvenator and their leather products from Griots Garage. Might be all you need and so far, I found their leather products very nice.
