I use cold cream on anything leather. I have used it for years on my
motorcycle jacket and chaps, and on vehicle leather upholstery, so that's
just what I automatically think of for leather.

Petroleum jelly is probably slightly cheaper. I suspect it would leave a
bit of a greasy texture, that while no problem for bee gloves, would not be
desirable on car seats. :)
