I was told by a mate on 106oc that wetwipes have the same stuff in them that the leather has. So a bag of wetwipes is cheaper than leather cleaner. Not tried it on mine yet but will be having a go

*top tip*

Also do you ever get a build up of white fluff from where it has rubbed against other materials (normally right at the back of the seat base or to the sides) shave it!

only thing i can suggest if your using a razor is just take your time make sure you dont slip and slice the suede, which i why i used the bobble trimmer cos there is no chance of that happenin
