Hi! For our Ultra Leather we just use a mild cleaner. I then use Meguires Leather stuff. Paul

Murhhy's Oil Soap works well also.

Regularly wipe down the furniture with a damp cloth. Leather is a skin and needs some moisture to keep it supple and then use one of the recommended cleansers every two or 4 weeks. This will help keep the sofas looking and feeling good

Very few coaches actually have leather. Most are vinyl or Ultraleather which is a high grade vinyl. Most vinyl cleaners should work.

Hi!
I have real leather seats in my Airstream Land Yacht. I use only Lexol cleaner which cleans well and leaves the leather smooth and supple. I found it at a tack shop. This is what the local Lexus dealer uses!

I use Griot's "Leather Care" (product # 11142) from the Griot's Garage line. They also have the best wash, cleaner and spray on wax for the exterior that I've found. Good stuff!
www.Griotsgarage.com And they have an on line catalog too.

Meguiars makes a pump bottle of leather cleaner, that I've found works very well.
I tried a cloth dampened with dish soap, but the Meguiars got all the dirt off more easily and doesn't dry out the leather.

Thanks to all your suggestions!!!
I ended up using Murphy's Oil soap for cleaning (at the suggestion of the Better Half) and Maguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather for conditioner. I am very happy with the results.
The Murphy's was also used to wipe down all the wood ( there is a 'LOT' of wood in there) and then a wipe with 'Old English' lemon oil. I was looking for 'Hawes' but could not find it, the Old English is about the same.

Give the man a cigar! Plain old fashioned saddle soap is probably the best leather cleaner/conditioner available-used as directed.
The vast majority of "leather cleaners" list water at the main ingredient. Saddle soap lists glycerin as the main ingredient.

My owners manual specifically lists saddle soap as one of the harmful substances never to be used on soft leather upholstery.
