If it's just your car the Rejuvenator Oil , 16 oz size, will last thru several cleanings. The Pristine Clean goes quicker.
I do once a year full cleaning, oil and let in soak in over night while out in the sun during the day, Prsitine Clean wipe down next morning. I use PB leather stuff to condition, UV project etc occasionally in between, say once every 4 to 6 weeks. I use the Pristine clean when needed in between the once a year full deep cleaining. I have Gray leather and wear jeans almost every day to work and don't have stains and leather looks, feels and smells good.
Buy some cheap microfiber applicator pads at Pepboys or Target, and put the Pristine clean on with that, the Oil I use a paint brush and a small disposable plastic tub like butter comes in.

For a Matte Finish

I would go

Einszett Cockpit
Einszett Leathercare

or
Sonax Dashboard Cleaner
Sonax Leather Foam

For denim stain removal I would go with Leather Master Super Remover

Follow it with Leather Master Soft Cleaner then protect with Leather Master Protection Cream

I would do deep cleaner for cleaning leather and the leathercare for the conditioner.

Well since you linked my video, I think I should help shed some light on this.
1Z Cockpit Premium can be used, but I'd recommend dedicated leather products (most here know I also recommend Leatherique or Leather Master products) to be used on leather.
In the video, the car is an AP1 S2000, so the inserts in the seats are leather, with everything else being vinyl. For light cleaning / dusting (as was the case for this Berlina Black S2000), 1Z CP was used as we were limited on supplies while down in Puerto Rico working for a few good clients (which is where the video was shot).

Hope this helps

I have used Gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner previously with excellent results, it leaves a lovely new leather smell and a Matt finish to the leather

Yes I would be interested as well in the remedy since I have the same problem after 10K miles.

Am I going wrong with Lexol? I use the cleaner then the conditioner. I have Saddle interior, but is that leatherique going to be a better option?

Lexol DID not work on the dye transfer issue.

Gotcha. I don't have any issues with dye transfer on the Saddle, so I guess my question is more concerning keeping the leather in good condition, not removing stains.

Hi Guys,

New here to the forum and back in the saddle again with a Bimmer (traded in the Benz for a 2011 328i Conv. with the Oyster/Black interior)

Question, I see lots of posts about the blue jeans stain but what about a yellowish stain? My car has a very faint (can really only see in sunlight) yellowish stain where your thighs and lower back would touch the seat.

Any idea what would have made those stains and which is the best to remove? Being that the car is brand new (to me) I'm nervous about putting anything into the leather.

I'm seeing a trend around the Leatherique products as well as the Zaino ones.

Also, is there any good wipes that can be kept in the car for a quick wipe down once a week or so? (i'm seeing anything ranging from Baby wipes to Armor-all).

Many thanks!
Mark

I just used Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner on the light gray leather of my 07 x3 and it did a great job of cleaning my (not very dirty) leather without adding any extra shine. The scent is very faint, not obnoxious at all.
