I like to start with a glycerin based soap wash and then an oil for dark leather or one of the white creams for light colored leathers. If it has dirt in/on tight areas, a soft bristle brush or even a small toothbrush will help when cleaning.

I found this cream to be the best of the creams I've tried. Being a horse nut for about 10 yrs, I tried all kinds of leather cleaners and conditioners. http://www.eliswesternwear.com/western/p...anerConditioner
