Default Leather cleaner

I went and saw a car that caught my eye today and bought it on the spot

Nice to see dealers dropping their pants

Anyway - it has 'parchment' leather in it which is very light and needs a bit of a clean to get it to my standards.

Anyone know the best cleaning product for leather seats ?

Oh god Lord no - I don't do Jags, never have never will.

Its a BMW 325i M sport coupe which will keep me going until I find the right toy ( )

Its an 'individual', which I triped over while looking at M3s. I've never seen one like it before (individual I guess ), near white leather, 18" M3 alloys (factory fit), in a dark blue/black.

Its also got that piano black finish inside. The original receipt shows

Ignore this fool.

Glyptone is the weapon of choice. It even smells of leather

Apparently someone's wife's toy.
