Interior refresh

I have some free time and want to clean and make the interior look newer. I have been searching and not able to find any good threads on interior restoration. I was thinking of using McGuires Gold Leather conditioner followed by 303 Aerospace Protectant. Anybody have success stories to share? Its a Burgundy 86 interior.

Not sure how extensive you're willing to go on your refresh effort but I've had good results with Leatherique

i love mequiar's products. needed to spruce up my dad's boat for a show one day and didn't have anything for the seats. the guy next to us has some meguiar's leather wipes in a jar and those things were pretty damn amazing. removed some marks and gave a very nice, deep finish on the leather. at first the finish has too much shine for my tastes but when it soaked in the gloss became less. granted they were small we went through a lot but they really did a nice job, cheaply too.
