You really don't need to do much to the leather seats just maybe coat or feed them with a leather conditioner. We use a CG one that's very good but the AG leather care I've found is also good.
As for the soft top we've only used AG Cabriolet cleaner and protector it's easy to use and so far seems to provide a good level of protection ...

I can't speak highly enough of Gliptone leather stuff, GT12 to clean and GT11 to condition. Has made an unbelievable difference to the softness of the leather in our cars, easy to apply as well

We have just used gliptone on the Recaros in the Clubvan and had amazing results. I also like Auto Finesse Hide both the cleaner and the conditioner.

Yup gilptone is very good, it's pricey but works unlike most of the cheaper ones !

I tried Connolly hide feed on the 550M, and Gliptone on the Z4. The Z4 came up brilliant, the 550M Ok (the leather is 17yo, and was a bit dry in places).

Changed to Gliptone on the 550M, and the leather is so soft now. Very impressed

I've been using Glipton G11 and G12 for about 9 years now and I won't use anything else.
It kept the full leather interior of mi Primera looking gorgeous for over 6 years and is doing a great job on the Recaros in Redward.
