I use Lexoral leather cleaner, damp cloth, spray and wipe until residual is gone. Then use conditioner (1 or 2 times a year depending on environmental contions). Keep the conditioner away from the threads as it does induce the potentil to collect dirt in the threads which then causes the threads to wear and break. i use Connolly Hyde cream from england- it is available in the US for about $15 a jar-- but it is also sold under a variety of trade name labels such as Ferrari, Porsche, Harley Davidson, Volvo leather conditioner.

Sorry to attached this to this thread...but did not want to start another:

Has anyone tried the Spinneybeck product? I usually use KR conditioner but have some Spinneybeck cleaner/conditioner sitting around that I use on my M3. I did search but no mention anywhere here. The M3 has an open-pore leather similar to the Castano and the BMW detail guys swear by it.

Just did a swatch test tonight on my KR, but wondered if anyone has tried.
