Non-Premium leather cleaning issue

Aight im startin to get really pissed off! Does anyone else without premium leather, specifically gray or tan (since you won't really notice dirt with black leather) notice how dirt buildup likes to wedge itself really deep within the grains of the leather and it is a ***** and a half to scrub out with leather cleaner? And then builds up again within a few days if you drive with windows open alot, like me. (I like fresh air )
And im not talkin about the holes, Im talkin about the natural cracks (leather grain) that I am assuming is only present with standard leather, premium leather i believe has a smoother surface.

Try Meguiar's Two Step Cleaner/Conditioner. If that doesn't work try Zymol. And if that doesn't work try an APC with a leather brush. That order would probably work best.

I recently used the Zymol leather cleaner and Treat conditioner. The cleaner worked great and the treat is amazing. Well worth the $30 price tag. The leather feels awesome and some wrinkles seem to have begun to reduce. I'm gonna hit it with another treatment soon and see if I can get it nice and supple. VERY impressed with those products.
