Leatherette Cleaning

I was thinking of using my 1Z Einszett Vinyl Cleaner and the conditioner. Anyone used that stuff on the leatherette? I have 1Z Einszett Interior Plastic Cleaner for the rest of the stuff.

Should work fine, 'ette is essentially vinyl. 303 Aerospace should work nicely on it too.

what do you use to get the dye from dark denim out of the leatherette? I have cream beige and its brutal to keep clean.

should I use some sort of brush and scrub the seats? or spray some type of product on a mf and just rub it until it comes out??

is 303 good as a cleaner or just protectant. I dont really find that it does much as a cleaner.

A damp microfiber cloth works pretty well. It has just the right abrasiveness for the leatherette. More elbow grease for the denim stains though.
