Leather seat cleaner recommendation

Hello all,
Last week I bought an 08 G35X with Navigation. It's Slate Blue with a light gray interior. I love this car! My wife has an 06 G35x and after driving hers I knew I needed one too. Glad she is so understanding. lol

Anyway my question,
My seats being light gray leather tend to show the dirt and look a little discolored. I see there are lots of posts about cleaning the leather but I'm not looking to do a whole recondition. Can someone recommend a good cleaner, preferably a wipe that will remove surface dirt? Also a suggestion for a good leather wipe for after I clean the dirt.

Thanks in andvance for any info.
Take care,
Willie

Congrats on the car...

My last G had that stone interior. It can be difficult to clean, and keep clean. Few things I would recommend:

1. Clean it frequently, especially after any smudges, spills, stains, etc happen.
2. Always start with a damp cloth, see if blotting with that removes it.
3. Old school style...10:1 Woolite. I typically spray on MF then wipe, but might apply directly to the leather for more stubborn areas.
4. Zaino Z-9 cleaner. Not expensive...but definitley not as cheap as diluting Woolite like above. Works okay, I think I just like that this is what it is made for. But honestly the first two options are probably better.

No matter how I clean my leather, every 3-4 times I wipe it down I apply Zaino Z-10 conditioner. Easily my favorite leather product of all time. Cannot get enough of this stuff.

To maintain your leather in its original condition and also a cleaner to remove any surface dirt/stains, Leatherique is the way to go. Hands down, best leather product I've ever used...rejuvenator oil for conditioning and maintaining your leather, prestine clean to wipe away dirt after using the rejuvenator or you can just use it on its own.

Depending on the climate your seats are exposed to and the amount of seat time you put on em, they will start to crack/fade etc. if you don't condition them at least once or twice a year. Best kind of maintenance is the preventative kind, I would suggest you look into this stuff, a bit pricey yes, but well worth it.
