Default I'm A Volvo Newbie - Good Products for Cleaning Leather Seats & Dashboard?

Hi all.

I'm the happy, new owner of a certified, pre-owned 2007 XC90 which I've been driving for less than a week and absolutely love already. As with all of the vehicles I've owned, I plan to take good care of my XC90 and perform routine cleaning, both exterior and interior. As I've never owned a Volvo before, or a vehicle with leather seats, for that matter, I was wondering if anyone might be able to recommend some good products for cleaning the leather seats, dashboard and console surface, and the interior side of the doors (the handle, armrest, map and bottle holder, etc.). Ideally, I'm looking for something that won't just make everything look new and shiny, but moreso something that does have some cleaning power for removing any dirt or smudges that might appear. Granted, I doubt there's one magic product that does all of this and more, but if there's a product that tends to be well-regarded for cleaning leather seats, another that's better for the console, and yet another that's better for the interior side of the door, any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Only leather conditioners for leater seats. If the product says "for leather or vinly" run!. I use Lexol.

As for cleaning dash, I only dust mine or clean off with a damp cloth after I dry the car. Some products that make dash plastic/vinly shine, also breaks down the material and makes them prone to crack earlier than non treated surfaces. Just dust them off.
