Post ATTN: 30th owners...best way to clean seats???

Anyone who owns one knows white leather is the most evil thing yet...look at it crosseyed and there is a smudge on it!!

So whats the best cleaner for these?? I had a problem with some Tanners Preserve leather cleaner...it gave a light yellowish tinge to the seats. I didn't notice it until a trim shop replaced my driver's seat bolsters last summer with OEM leather...even though I had just cleaned the seats, the new bolsters didn't match!!! They cleaned the seats with some Kent Vinyl Cleaner, and this stuff works awesome. Problem is, it says on the bottle good for "vinyl, interiors, carpets etc..." Says NOTHING about leather. I bought some from the trim shop, and have used it 3 times since. Works great...but I'm concerned, could it be too harsh for leather?? I have had a few perforations on the driver's seat bottom begin to scuff a little...I don't know if this is normal wear, or from the harshness of the cleaner. These marks may have been there before...I have a new OEM cover on order for it anyways...$210 dealer cost

Sorry for the novel...so what is best for white leather?? Those of you with traditional seats, remember....your stuff may turn mine yellow!! Can any 30th owners shed some light?? Thanks so much for any responses...

What you need is a TWO part cleaner and conditioner product, NOT a one part cleaner combined with a conditioner, you can't do both at the same time NO matter what detailing product companies say.

Our Zaino Z-9 cleaner and Z-10 conditioner is perfect, our leather system was picked number on on the market by Corvette Fever magazine (all Vettes have leather) in a 1999 issue. You will not be let down.

I wasn't using one step...I know better than that. When the trim shop noted the yellowing, I was using Tanners Preserve cleaner, and Lexol conditioner. Now I use the Kent and the Lexol. I've been to Zaino's site, and seen the stuff...I'll look at it again.

Any other opinions??
