Default Recommendation - Leather Cleaner

I am looking to take advantage of the expertise on this board. Well, I have leather car seats and few leather interior. Cleaning leather can be a daunting task. Different products of leather cleaning are available to choose from and everyone has their own opinion about how should you clean leather. I would like to know whats everyone using on their leather car seats and interior.
One of my friends suggested me to try "Universal - Black Magic Leather Care". Hope to get it from Auto Parts Warehouse.


Any Recommendations..

I have used Leatherique which is a two part product. First one is the cleaner which you can apply by hand rubbing it deep into the leather. You let it stand outside on a warm/sunny day and then later wipe if off with a clean damp rag. The second step is the conditioner applied the same way except you do not let it stand too long.

I have used this on my last few cars and also did a friends older BMW and it certainly made a big difference on his car as far as making the leater a bit softer.

I ordered my online from Classic Auto in Florida.

Hope this helps.

I use Zaino cleaner and conditioner, two seperate bottles. Leaves your interior smelling like a new baseball glove.

I know Pat is a Zaino guy and recently converted me to their wax products. If he says it is good then believe him.

I don't want to tell you what my seats smells like! .

I also have used the Leatherique products for several years. Made my Merkur XR4Ti's leather seats stay in great shape and I had one of the cars for 21 years!

So far I've treated my seats twice. Usually I get them in late spring and late fall. Helps to cover the seats with a large plastic trash bag after applying the conditioner. The higher the temp when the conditioner is left to soak in the leather, the better the stuff gets into the pores.

I buy the products directly from Leatherique.

Good idea with use of the plastic bag. Will try that next time.

I have not tried Leather Master yet, but it has received a lot of good reviews on some of the auto detail forums.
