You can use Woolite HE mixed 1:6 or 1:10 with water. It works well and is very inexpensive. After any cleaner, be sure to wipe off all traces of the detergent with a moist microfiber towel then gently buff dry. I'd also suggest using a leather protection product to seal the leather after cleaning and make dye transfer and clean-up a non-issue. For this I use Leather Masters Protection Cream.

To keep the leather clean, a weekly wipe down with a damp microfiber towel is fine. I use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer for this as it also adds UV protection and does not leave any slick or oily feel.

One product that stands out is our Optimum Leather Protectant. It cleans, restores, and protects leather surfaces, vinyl surfaces, and moldings and doesn't cost a arm & a leg. Give it a shot!

If you want a one step clean and conditioner that works great try the Poorboy's World Leather Stuff. If you just want a quick cleaning you can use the Optimum (OPT) Opti-Clean. This is a versatile quick detailer that can clean virtually every surface in your car. Both have a pleasant smell as well and we offer 10% off with the coupon code 10offCL if interested. Take care!
