Default Leather Cleaner Recommendation

Can anyone recommend a good leather cleaner for my audi?

Something that will not cause the leather to crack later on. Thanks in advance.

+1 for Lexol also; used it in my last 6 cars, including an old SAAB 900 that I bought used with the leather pretty beat. A good Lexol condition brought it back to at least acceptable for the 3 years I owned it, and in every subsequent car I owned (except my '04 Acura, which had leather like a Tijuana wallet that couldn't be saved with any product) 1 or 2X per year kept the leather looking brand new for years..

Thanks for the link. I hope I can find it at AutoZone in my area. I guess Lexo comes with a package including the cleaner, conditioner, etc?

I highly recommend Connolly. It's used on just about every high end leather (ferrari, RR, Bentley, etc).

I've been happy with the leather cleaner from Griot's Garage

Do I need to use dish wash detergent to clean the leather before apply these leather cleaning/conditioning package?

There are black spots (from my dog) and blueish color on the driver seat (from my jean I think). How can I remove these tough stings? Thanks

I only use Einszett Lederpflege. Highly recommended.
