Default Cleaning White Leather Seats

Hey all...
I'm detailing our 30t Anniversary T/A and I cant get the grime and dirt out of the white leather. I have already tried the Armoral Leather Cleaner Wipes, but they aren't doing much but making the leather glossy. I want something powerful to bring them back to the white they once were, but I don't want something too powerful that the blue stitching in the seat gets bleached. Would dawn and a sponge work? I'm really open to anything as long as I can pick it up here in town (I don't have time to order it online...the car is being used for a prom and its this Saturday).
Thanks in advance.
Ed

Get a regular dish wash cloth that is kinda rough.. Use a little bit of Dawn mixed with water and give it a good scrub.. That always worked for me.. A bath towel like material works great to get in the little pits of the leather.. Good Luck!!

6']['9 I agree - I've always found that on white leather Zymol leather conditioner seems to work the best.

wesley's bleach white. i had a 68 olds 442 with white leather. it would take the toughest dirt out. just put some leather conditioner on after . just spray it on and the dirt runs off. I know its for whitewalls, but its the best thing i found that did the job.
