want to clean my leather, what's good?

I’ve finally found time to clean my leather. Can you guys recommend a good cleaner, something that will get rid off dirt, water spots, and that crap that is left from seatbelt buckle rubbing. I also want to clean my door pillars. They have that odd looking material on them, would upholstery cleaner do the job? Thanks.

Use lexol cleaner, and Armor All cleaning wipes for the tough spots. Follow with a conditioner, I like Meguiar's paste style, squeeze bottle or wipes.

I actually use both the Lexol cleaner and conditioner. I haven't tried the wipes, but am interested in having them for emergency use. what's your experience with them?

it softens and mouisturizes the leather to keep it from drying out and cracking. a must to ensure a long life for your leather.

Maguiars wipes are solid, they condition so well and even smell good.
