Autoglym Leather Care Balm and Gliptone Conditioner are my preference.

Re: What do you use to condition leather seats?
You shouldn't need to condition the leather in your Scirocco, as it's sealed with a clear lacquer (like almost all modern automotive leather).
You just need a mild leather cleaner and/or water.
Don't forget that clean leather should look matte, not shiny. If you use a product that leaves the leather shiny, it's the wrong product.

Second for Gliptone for me, I use both their cleaner and conditioner. Conditioner leaves a nice matte finish.

Gliptone is by far the best leather cleaner.. Accept no substitute.

Gyeon leather cleaner or dr leather wipes, much better then gliptone,
Then add protection with Gyoen leather coat.

Re: What do you use to condition leather seats?
I have gliptone nothing wrong with it but modern leather is sealed by a polymer film. So all your seats need is a means to clean them well. Nourishment simply can't get through.
I DO weirdly like the smell though
