When comes to cleaning leather the only thing i use on leather is D180 ( read : no steamer, no apc or any other things/cleaners )

D180 is meguiar`s leather cleaner conditioner. for public can be purchase in sample of 12 oz around 7$ , or in gallon for more / detailer use.
one seat should take between 5 minutes up to 20 minutes (when soiled)
Depends how bad the leather condition is i do one or 2 applications for cleaning and the 3rd one for "conditioner" where the product is light wipe.
i use it with a soft brush (1in and half , soft-hair) i apply the product on the brush and i work the seat strategic , in steps. u agitate the product to make sure goes anywhere on seat surface and wipe with mf towel.
- when use with the brush keep on eye on any splater , if use too much product, wipe any splater from leather, try don`t leave it too long, has cleaning agents.
- always wipe with mf towel so the leather is even covered.
- once u start you wanna do the whole seat/ interior seats , if not will be visible difference
- the product has a light learning curve but once u use it it should be easy on/off , just wipe the excess to even the application if not the excess it may be visible too shiny.
- when first applied on seats it may look greasy at the momment you work the paste , but after 1-2 hours the finish is natural , and nice to touch , gives a light shine of the leather but not any extreme glare.
that`s my experience with D180, very affordable , safe on leather ,good working time , quality results.
i use it on different vehicles , color , and very soft leather

I see that you've posted this exact same thread on just about every car forum out there. Are you a Meguiars sales rep?

If so, is this okay for aniline uncoated leathers?

I read the MSDS sheets and it appears to be water based but with other chemicals I know nothing about. (I don't trust the "one product for all types of leather" approach, which is why I'm asking.)

Thanks!

 

i don`t have anything with meguiar`s , i find this product as doing it`s job and i use it.
for details you are looking for , you may wanna call their number and i bet they have someone who can give you more information.
so far this paste works for me on any kind of leather and i share my experience with it.

i'm looking for something to clean my interior, would this be good for the dash and door panels? also do you let it sit on for some bit and just use a brush to clean off?

 

with brush you deep clean the leather. is more effective.
for dash it may give you a slightly shine, the conditioner can go on vinyl too.
i use it on door panels , special if has leather.
i let it sit if the leather is very dirty, other than that , i agitate with brush and wipe, with not time in between.
