Default Perforated leather question

I almost passed on this car because it looked so disgusting inside but alas I figured with some elbow grease I'll be able to bringing to back to life. So far, I've started by just cleaning the leather by using a 6:1 Dreft vs water solution, see befores and afters. However, I've noticed that the perforated parts are more difficult (if you zoom into the photos you'll see what I mean). Are there any pointers for cleaning perforated leather so should I just get some Leatherique and be done with it.

Just do this and save hours of aggravation. Remember Leatherique works best in hot conditions, if you can't do this then cover the seats in plastic and let them sit.

I would highly recommend give Sonax Leather Foam a try. It works very well and is very easy to use. You could also give Carpro Inside a try which is another great cleaner that will be safe to use on your seats and should but through the dirt very easily. I am sure Zach can post some links to stuff. I am pretty sure he did a review on Inside and I have a review of Sonax also.
