I used the Armor All leather gel, and I KNOW I KNOW I just read today that it is very bad and I am its slave for life etc...I just ordered everything Meguiars from their website, and I was wondering if after 1.5 applications of the armorall if I will now have to stick with their product to avoid deterioration and cracking/fading or I can switch to the new mequiars leather care products? Any help would me most appreicated!

I highly recommend lexol products.

+1 for Lexol - great stuff. If nothing else, go to a store that sells higher-end leather coats/shoes, etc, and ask them what they recommend for care. Chances are if it's good enough for a $1200 jacket or a $1000 pair of shoes, it won't hurt your seats.
