They sell that at the Stealership as well. They gave me some for free when I purchased my car. I didn't like it. Used it once and it made my seats feel oily/greasy. Didn't shine as well either.

there is an autmotive care section on this forum that will provide you a wealth of information on different products.

To answer your question, I use zaino products on my interior. Z9 and Z10 to be exact; it restores the original leather smell

i use leather masters trio. and if your leather is shiny, it's not clean, so keep cleaning.

Like shiny dashboards, shiny leather is a thing from the past. Healthy leather does not have to shine. It needs to be clean and treated.
Having said that, I've always used the Lexus brand leather products and have had much luck with them. Recently was given some Lexol conditioner wipes, but was less than satisfied. They left little fibers all over the seat. Going to stick with the Lexus products.

I use Zaino Z-9 and Z-10 cleaner and conditioner. It has UV protection too!
