So yes I get the leather food stuff as I have leather sofa etc indoors, but what is best to clean it first?

My and my father's car have full and half leather so we bought some products from these guys and it is fantastic :-

There is no way I would use shoe or boot polish, I used on my brothers seats when we were selling his car and it was a waste of time and shoe polish isnt colour fast !
