Default vaseline?

I used the leather cleaner from griots, worked great. Their leather care products really renewed my 90k mile ecru interior quickly.

And no, I don't own any griots stock.

Default Don't laugh but 99 cents hand cleaner from Walmart & Vaseline intensive care

water resistance skin care.
I applied hand cleaner on the q tips to get the grimes from the leather cracks and grains, wait for about 1 minute, then use a wet clean towel to wipe off all the cleaner. It worked wonder and I used the vaseline intensive care lotion to cover the whole leather. The leather looks beautiful and not slipery at all.
On the lower seat, I use my hands to apply hand cleaner because it's so dirty.
