Leather cleaner?

Just got a big order from DP icluding Lexol conditioner (no cleaner). My car is only 3 months old but I do notice some dirt on the light colored Tuscan Beige driver's seat that I'd like to clean off before I use it. I don't think I need that stuff that brings up the dirt from the pores, etc, just something to get the surface dirt off there before conditioning. I don't want to order again, just go to a store. Thoughts?

If you just want to go to a local store and get it - I've used the Meguiar's "Rich Leather" spray for this purpose and it seems OK... not the world's greatest or anything, but better than most of the other retail products you're gonna find IMHO... then you could follow it with the Lexol.

You can buy Lexol cleaner at most stores. It works fairly well.

Zaino also makes a nice leather cleaner Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner and their Z-10 Leather in a bottle (leather conditioner) does a great job and smells exactly like the product name, leather in a bottle.
