Quickest Leather Cleaner?

The stone seats in my 2008 g35x are a mess! I've tried to keep up with them but with a 90 lbs golden retriever, it isn't easy. It's a daily driver so I just need something to maintain the seats with. What's a quick leather cleaner that I can clean my seats with that will leave me with a evenly clean surface?

I have Zaino but it takes forever and you have to scrub each square inch and it's expensive for how much you get. I've used Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but you need a ton of them, they make a mess and you need to do it a million times before it's evenly clean and not streaky. I've also used Scrubbing Bubbles on my buddy's GM leather which worked really well for a one time use but I wouldn't do it often. Any suggestions?

I don't wanna sound like a jerk....but don't let your dog in your car. That's just my opinion. I have an 01 F250 that still looks brand new because i freak out when people put shoes on the carpet.....the one part of carpet that doesn't have a Husky liner. My 08 G35 sedan also looks brand new......once again i am SUPER **** with who and what i allow in it. I LOVE Armor All products. The leather cleaner is AMAZING and the interior wipes are AMAZING also. Once again these are my opinions and i realize a lot of people like pets and like them in the vehicles.

I'm not going to not allow my dog in my car just because it might get dirty. That's why I'm asking for an easier leather cleaner. If I was that worried about my car then I wouldn't even own one...I'd just ride my bike.

What you've described is clearly overly obsessive behavior. Armor all is alright if you like cheap, artificial, shiny leather products.

Leatherique.

After you see how clean they get, you may not want your dog back in your car :P

This. There are no cheap and safe leather products that will give you a deep and even clean, and this is speaking as a professional detailer. Armor all is also complete trash. If you want a quick clean, use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Interior with a microfiber, but realize that it will not give you a deep clean.

You may have already permanently damaged the leather by using a magic eraser as they do somewhat clean, but work mostly by lightly abrading the surface like 10,000 grit sandpaper. I would not recommend ever using them again unless it's an absolute last resort, such as a permanent ink stain.

Been using Lexol for a while. How does that compare to leatherique?

I use Lexol for normal light cleaning, but Leatherique is a superior product.
