I'm not familiar with the materials used in the Limited, I would imagine it has more real leather than my Lariat. I haven't settled on a product yet myself, I'll be interested to see what suggestions come up.
From reading and watching videos from detailers, most leathers and pleathers have a clear coat of some sort, meaning they can be cleaned with any good all surface interior cleaner and generally wont benefit from a true leather cleaner/conditioner. So far I've given the interior of my truck a wipe down (all surfaces) using McGuire's interior cleaner/detailer, although I'm still interested in some other products that can be used on all surfaces that might perform even better. Because of the clear coat on most interior surfaces, some say that something like McGuire's Ultimate Spray wax (I use this on the exterior) works great on interiors too. Watched a guy use some on the interior of a Bugatti, including the leather seats.

I have been using this on my trucks. I'm sure there is something better out there but it's so nice to use one product on dash, screen, console, etc. I used it on my 17 for 2 years and it held up fine, used it on my 19 last week.

I use chemical guys leather cleaner and polish in my KR and I use 303 protectant on everything else in the interior. Not greasy, doesn’t make anything slick, cleans and protects and doesn’t attract dust and dirt as easy.

Nice thing about 303 is you can adjust the sheen by wiping it with a dry cloth and it doesn't have any effect on the product. I will agree that 303 is a great product!

Get ceramic tint with clear ceramic tint on the windshield and dont worry about fading and drying out. The ceramic will block nearly all of the harmful UV rays.

I use 303 - great product.
I also like Lexol (cleaner and preservative). Kept my 11 year old Corvette leather looking great (just sold it - buyer said it looked like new) and older Corvette leather is to all that durable to begin with.
I have been happy with most of the Chemical Brothers products (car wash, wax, tire shine, etc) but haven't tried their leather products - probably good stuff.
I find it hard to believe that Clorox Wipes don't damage the leather and other interior materials. Might be fine, but I'd not use it.
