Default Alpine leather care

How to properly care for the IS-F alpine interior has been a common question everyone asks. I myself still cannot find the proper product to clean the interior with. If anyone who has or had an ISF with the white interior please share your secret on how to keep in looking like new.

Not an Alpine owner but I had a car with a light brown leather interior. Zaino's products worked very well. The cleaner is Z-9 and the conditioner is Z-10.

With perforated leather I'd be extra careful with the conditioner. Wouldn't want it to soak through the perforations.

Good question...my alpine interior still looks great and I only clean with a slightly wet rag ever so often.

What is everyone else using?

I have not wiped mine at all yet and it still looks "good." But for my accord with off-white leather, I have used Meguiar's G-10900 Rich Leather Wipes with good results. I have not tried it on the alpine yet.

This is the method I use and it does well at removing the dark blue jeans stains and softening the leather up.

I also presume it will keep the leather supple and in good condition.
