Default Armor All, yeah or nay?

Hello everyone! I just upgraded from my much-loved '97 Civic to a 2013 Accord. Being my first new car in quite awhile, I want to take good care of it. I didn't do the dealer protection package (Super Polysteel), and I've been reading different things about waxes and leather care,,,SO, anyone have any thoughts or opinions about the proper care and upkeep of my new leather interior? I read somewhere to avoid Armor All at all costs, for everything. Is Meguiar's any better? Should I buy their wax for black cars? (yes, mine is black). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you searched about "lexol" products? I'm sure others will have more suggestions, just mine.

Ive been using McGuires stuff on the leather seats. Seems OK. I wouldn't use ArmorAll on the leather.

I've used McGuires Gold then Mothers Carnauba wax. Both have been good.

Best product I have found is McGuires NXT protectant. The NXT Wax works really well also.

I have a Black 2006 Accord EX Coupe we bought new, with 150K miles on it.

Been using Liquid Glass (Autozone) on it the whole time. Other than the normal rock chips it still shines like a new one. We just bought a new Black 2013 Accord EX V6 Coupe and I use it on there as well. It's the only wax I've tried that doesn't leave a film. But then again, I haven't tried any of the newer waxes.
