I searched the threads and could not find too much (or current) info on how owners are caring for the interior leather (not just seats). Any recommendations on what works or doesn't work? Thanks for the help!

...the car sits in an airconditioned garage 99.95% of the time.
I use Meltonian Leather Lotion, which is what I have used on my leather and lizard boots forever. Boots get way more stress than car interiors. This stuff keeps it supple without any slipperiness. I use it on the seats, not the dash. I don't know why. Maybe the dash would benefit too.
My problem with the dash is the leather separating around the vents.
I believe leather is sealed; so nothing really is absorbed.
Sealed how? If leather was sealed, it would feel like vinyl. Leather is skin. Skin breathes. Skin has oil. Dead skin doesn't get any oil replenishment. Keep your skin lubed.
Or else coat it with plastic and see how well that lasts.
Never touched my dash with anything but damp microfiber towel wipe down. 9 years and 22,500 miles looks great. Sorry to hear some of you guys are having shrinkage problems.
All new cars come with sealed leather.
