Default Leather seat conditioning ideas

I just bought an '04 Accord EX V6. The car is in great condition and the only place it shows wearis the driver's seat side bolsters--lots of scratches from the previous owner getting into and out of the car. Any suggestions for a leather conditioner to use to help hide the scratches and to keep the leather soft?

Thanks

I use Meguiar's Leather Cleaner/Conditioner Wipes and it works pretty well...

You will not likely hide the scratches.
Lots of good leather cleaner preservative products as recommended.
Try a soft brush used for hand cleaning and the cleaner.
Narrow brush 1 - 2 inches width.
Soft so not to scrub off color.

I found this HOWTO on leather, and based on how well their paint HOWTO came out when I used it, I'm giving the leather one a try as well.
