Leather wipes

I started to use these to wipe my terra seats and I notice on some parts like the bolster or the arm rest area of the door. I see the terra color on the armor all wipe. I want to preserve my leather as long as I can and how can I? I tell everyone I know to not just jump in my car so it doesnt rip the bolsters of my sport seats. Driver side seat is showing creases now also. Is this a good product?

Use only proper leather conditioners. Even dubbin would be OK. I have used an Australian product for decades on all my leather sets and they are still like new. RM Williams leather care.

Use Lexol leather cleaner and Lexol or Jay Leno’s leather conditioner

I like Chemical Guys cleaner/conditioner lotion, it works well on my leather seats.

Anything but Armor All.

If you really want to preserve your leather, go with Leatherique. It's a messy process, but you'll do it twice a year and your leather will look and feel brand new.

For general touching up, Lexol is pretty good and there are loads of leather cleaners from companies like Adam's, Chemical Guys, etc.

IMO, using leather wipes is a good idea, but it sounds like you're having trouble with color transfer. Maybe you could try using alcohol wipes instead? They're less likely to cause any color issues. And it's totally smart to remind your friends to be careful when they're getting into your car. I'm new here on the forum, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.
