Started doing my seats. Did driver side yesterday and it did pick up black in several (not all) areas. Thread brightened a little but not as much as I was hoping and pictures it looks no different. At least I know its properly clean!

EDIT: I stand corrected. It would appear I was to hasty. The thread probably was still wet maybe when I created my opinion. I have not done the passenger seat and there is a difference in the thread color for sure. Excellent process and easy to do!

I have the top trim Executive trim (this is what they call it in Canada) and the leather seats have soft suede like portion. How do I clean them?

For the rest of the leather portion I use Chemical guys leather cleaner and vitamin E leather conditioner.

Has anyone used Leather Honey Cleaner / Conditioner;

Also, revisiting previous REPLY #11, which use of a degreaser is referenced. Would it be something similar to Goop Hand digresser / stain remover?

You don't want to use Leather Honey or a hand cleaner no...

SW17LS, thank you for the follow up. Understand possible issues with using a digresser however, was curious what type was being referenced in REPLY #11.
What are the negatives with using Leather Honey?

Automotive leather is urethane coated, the leather honey is not going to penetrate that. No need to use any degreaser.

Understood! Due to the urethane coating on top of the leather, prevents leather conditioners penetrating the leather.
I'll just use a gentle water based leather cleaner. I've been made aware to try Adams Leather & Interior cleaner as well as Poorboys Natural Look cleaner;
