I was really interested in Leatherique for my 2nd car. I wouldn't use it on my G though because from what I can tell its truly a reconditioner to use when your leather is jacked. My car is only a year old, and with our coating, I'm not sure that it would have the same capabilities as other older cars.

I've been sticking with warm water most of the time, then 303. I've done 15:1 Woolite for some dirt that didn't come off with warm water.

Basic Leather care –
Automotive leather care is a subject surrounded with misinformation and myth, products such as leather (Saddle) soaps, oil-based Conditioners, Neats-foot oil, and Hide Food still prevail as top sellers, albeit most are made for equestrian tack, Leatherequi, an oil-based product is also a very popular, that is used in a market that is dominated by pigmented leather with an acrylic water-based polythene protective covering; which are very different leathers with completely differing care requirements. The exact reason why this is the case is unclear. It’s possible that there is an association with old world quality (i.e. European automobiles with leather upholstery and real burl wood interiors) with these types of products, despite the fact that the automotive industry has been using water-based polyurethane covered pigmented leather for many years -
