Q7 leather
Guessing that a Q7's leather seats are made of the same material as at least some other Audi models, and I see there's a general detail section on this forum but.....
I'd like to know what you Q7 owners are doing and using to clean and maintain your leather seats. Yes I too have let a professional detailer do this while at a whole car but of those that really look after their Q7 personally, what do you use and how do you use it?
Be sure to include product or process that DIDN'T work and why. Particularly interested in answers from people like MarkItZero and their 125K experience.

So... for light cleaning I use Lexol Conditioner (brown bottle). For more aggressive cleaning, I use <a href="http://www.detailersdomain.com/leathermaster-rapidscleanerleathercleaner.aspx">Leather Master Rapid S Cleaner</a> applied with a <a href="http://www.detailersdomain.com/swissvax-leatherbrush.aspx">Swiss Vax leather brush</a>. The latter was recommended by someone and works well for deep cleaning.
Also, we aware that on most Q7s the center insert of the seat is leather... the sides and edges are fancy vinyl.

We've got the full leather on ours, tan ... lexol cleaner (blue bottle I think?) doesn't work all that great except for on very light soil, but it's easy to find. To get the dye transfer off from my wife's fancy pantsy jeans, I've had great luck with the Audi dealer leather cleaning kit back when it was leather masters. Now it's something else so I go get it from a furniture store.
Only issue is that the leather masters cleaner appears to be alcohol based and should probably be backed up with a conditioner.
You can also use baby wipes to get dye transfer off, but again I think that dries out the leather and should be conditioned right after.
