To be fair, its been around since the summer, but i don't imagine you guys have seen it yet. Its called tri clean:

http://www.gtechniq.com/products/auto/i2-tri-clean

Its a great product for cleaning the interior, including leather and its got this antibacterial additive, but to be fair, thats not why you would buy it. I'll be showing it off in an upcoming vid, but essentially, you spray it onto a cloth, give it a wipe and then wipe any residue with a separate cloth. You can't use it on glass though, because it will smear. You should see the crap it pulls off a steering wheel.

Another thing you might be interested in too is that its the best thing I've found so far for removing old polish residue from black trim. I found this out just by chance and I'm very glad i did now.

This is not an advert, as i don't care if you buy it or not, but i just thought i would give you a heads up. Im nice like that.

Leather colour isn't a factor these days, it's all coated anyway. Spray it on the cloth, wipe the seat and then with a dry one, wipe off any excess. If you do see any streaking, do it again, but this time, use the dry cloth sooner. Wipe on, wipe off.

No matter how the leather is coloured, the leather had a coating, otherwise you would get transfer from the seat when cleaning it. Old cars are not the same and is also why they need the leather feeding and not just protecting.

If unsure, it's always best to test a small hidden area first.

Just been talking to Rob, the owner of Gtechniq and he said its fine on alcantara. Just spray on the wheel, agitate with a mf cloth and then use some dry mf cloth to remove the excess moisture/product. Not tried it myself, but this is straight form the horses mouth.
