Default STI and WRX Leather seat cleaner/protectant recommendations?

As the thread title states, what are some of the better leather cleaner/protectant? I want something that does not make the seats slick.

I did a search in this forum and the only information that came up was on Peleg's thread on post #129:

Peleg's Guide to Detailing

I like the Sonus leather package from Autopia Car Care. It comes with a special 2 side applicator, 1 bottle of leather cleaner and 1 bottle of leather protectant. I recently bought the same kit from Meguire's, but haven't tried it yet, but as with all of their products, I'm pretty confident it's great.

I do not know if the two recommendations would result in slick seats...does anyone know? My only experience is with much older leather cleaner/protectant where the seats got slick. I have been reluctant to clean my seats because of that.

I am not opposed to paying for a quality product found somewhere online. Thanks for the help or any suggestions.

here are a couple to choose from.

All give a matte finish, no grease or slickness at all. Just a clean , protected surface.:

Einszett Leathercare: (cleaner/conditioner for seats in good shape or better)

Leather Master kit: (the best stuff you can get out there)

Are those the same products you use when you detail Porches?

My STI has aspirations to one day grow-up and be like a GT2/GT3 .

Thanks...I will be ordering one of those soon.
