I just bought it about a month ago and used it. Not sure how good it is but it sure smells really nice.

I'm in a same boat wondering whether anyone has any special tips using this stuff.

I've been using Meguiar's Rich Leather C/C for the leather in my ES, and it does a great job keeping the seats feeling and looking nice and clean like in a showroom car. In order to maintain the seats in top condition, I would treat the leather seats once every 3-4 weeks, and I especially would give more attention to the tops and backs of the headrests since those areas are more vulnerable to drying out as a result of sunlight exposure.

Ouch! Take Dougs advice and clean and condition every 3-4 weeks especially in these harsh summer months. I use Meguiars becuase it's quick and easy and I can do it frequently (sometimes weekly) and its what I use when I detail other peoples cars but for an intense monthly treatment I use Leatherique. My drivers seat by the left side where your left thigh sits was cracking when I purchased the car. Unfortunately nothing I've tried has been able to fix that so I am currently looking into leather repair. Suggestions anyone?

Besides the leather seats on Ebay (too much $$$ IMO), you also have the option of getting custom seating done, like the group buy that's going on for Leatherseats.com, link here.
