Default Leather Upkeep and Car Wash

Hi guys, I have a couple of questions for anyone who has gone down this path, but I just bought my RC and wanted to know how well the leather keeps up. I had a 2005 Acura TL before this, and I understand that the RC is on the higher end, but leather is leather, and I want to avoid the cracking and blackening of the leather for as long as possible. Do you guys use any products that will keep the seats looking new? Also as far as washing my car, I will probably be taking it to lexus for the most part since its starting to get cold out, I don't trust any of the auto washes in my area, but what products do you guys recommend I use to get the car to shine? This of course without damaging or providing any harm to the paint.

thanks!

Although I don't use the Zaino polymer paint protection on my cars any more, the Zaino leather conditioner is about the best I have ever come across. It's a rich cream that you spread around on the leather, and it also smells great. Find it at the Zainostore online - Highly recommended. For the non-leather surfaces of your interior, use 303 Aerospace, and stay away from those greasy products (you know what I'm talking about).
