    I use Sonus cleaner and conditioner on my Porsche interior. Cleans everything nicely.

    I like scrubbing with a soft brush...use liberal amount of water...
    Lexol, Woolite, etc.

    then dry well...
    conditioner is personal preference...
    some say it makes it tacky, some slippery...go figure...
    I like a very small amount of cream conditioner, then wiping all excess off...

    Usually a damp terry towel works for me. Sometimes I use the same conditioner that I use for the seats.

    I would think an apc dilluted 10:1 with a mf towel would work fine. Then can go back over it will a leather cleaner/conditioner. Make sure to wipe off excess product several times
