Cleaning Leather - How Dirty

[Taxboy]

I've cleaned the black leather in my BMW E39 with AG but other than the steering wheel and gear selector very little dirt came off on the cloth. I keep the car in a clean order generally (I've only just got attrated by this detailing lark) and wondered if this is normal or should I be seeing more dirt come off :brit

What are you using to clean it? If it appears clean, I wouldn't go any further as to forcefully clean it.

I am guessing Autoglym's interior cleaner. Were you using a MF cloth to wipe the surfaces

Were you using the AG Leather Care Cream, or the AG Leather Cleaner? In my experience the Care Cream doesn't really do any cleaning at all.

I was using the Autoglym leather cleaner and just a damp cotton cloth to apply and AG polishing cloth to remove

Use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, you won't believe all the dirt that comes out.

I used a Sonus SFX Pro applicator to do this door - the scrubby yellow side and it was actually pretty gentle. Used the Sonus Leather Cleaner and wiped up with a MF detailing towel and it was a great combo, I must say... I've found that just a MF towel doesn't have enough "bite" to really clean most leather that effectively...
