Default White Spots on Leather?

Recently I switched from Meguirs leather conditioner to Lexol. The reason why I switched was because I began to notice these little white dots all over my seat. It looks almost like the cream (the Meguiar's was a cream), seemed to have lodged itself in the perferated holes and dried up.
Of course, this is truely just speculation..it could be something worse, but I can't figure out what it is.. (if it's not dried cream).
If so..how do I get it out? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Someone help me before I toss the "light application" method and roll out the brillo pad. (someone suggested this btw.)

Sounds like dried Leather conditioner. I'd start with a powerful vac without any attachments. Put the hose right on the seat and hope it sucks them out. After that i'd try to soften then up with leather cleaner and try to work them out.

tried industrial vac (the one that can pull my floormats out of the car without me actually picking them up)
that didn't work.
i even thought about a toothpick, but i don't have 80 years to do this.
