Default Cleaning interior!

I just bought a midnight blue 1993 LS400 with beige interior. I plan on completely detailing it shortly but I will do the interior first. I was wondering if I go to Canadian Tire and pick up Autoglym leather cleaner and then balm and a carpet cleaner for about $30-$40would be fine or i should spend more and get the Wolfgang Leather Care Cockpit Kit which includes

Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner
Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner
Wolfgang Carpet & Upholstery Restorer
Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Protectant
3 Microfiber Applicator Pads
2 Microfiber Detailing Towels
1 Leather & Vinyl Scrub Brush
1 Vent Brush
Wolfgang Handbook
Total: $99 + S&H

Good way to start off I have a bissel shampoo vacuum tore the interior inside out after owning the car for four years and it made it really easy as for the leather I have yet to tackle I just used shampoo and a rag but what ur talking about sounds like a good deal... Good luck and enjoy I love my clean interior! Feels like a new car

I use lexol leather cleaner and conditioner 10.99 a bottle it was what was suggested on another leather cleaning thread and a friend who restores cars. I would think you can get away with getting the stuff from canadian tire and be fine. Not sure if you can get Lexol or not but if you can i would go with atleast the cleaner.

I've had excellent results with a rental Rug Doctor machine (with upholstery attachment) for the carpets. X2 Lexol products for the leather.

I can always order Lexol online, but will it help do a deep clean on the leather, lots of jean transfer stains and what not, and it's kind of hard the leather, not soft
