Griots Garage all the way. As BD said "After the treatment your car smells like a Coach store"

Be aware of UV protection
I use and recommend Lexol but alternate it with Meguiar's Gold Class because Lexol does not have a UV component. Leather is skin, and needs "sunscreen" the same way your own hide does when you are out on a sunny Cape Cod day. Look for a conditioner with a UV agent.

Nope, not yet. And the Boxster is getting an alternator today.
Battery light came on coming home from cruise night in Somers Thursday. I called my neighbor to rescue me as rain was fast approaching and with no battery, there's no windows or top. Got back just in time and wifey and I stood in the rain holding a plastic tarp over the interior waiting for AAA to tow me to Hoffman. FTL.

BMW does partial leather and has for some time - some Mercedes and Porsche do it now too.
Just look for the key words, "leather seating surfaces" to tell you a car has only partial leather. A big lawsuit against Mazda about wording, caused the auto industry to change the description. Even the M6.
