thats what the plan was, though i wasnt sure if regular detergent would be too harsh for the leather(?)

regular armor all always worked for me  but if you dont want to take the chance of hurting the leather then i would clean with detergent and rag then use a good leather polish. it will last longer that way.

Please dont use armor-all...it will cause premature cracking as it's oil based (espicailly in the summer). You want a water based cleaner like Megauires.
Armor-all is the devil!!!

Well if its the leather one go with the Meguiars cleaning wipes then wipe on the leather wipes. Another GREAT product for cleaning things is Castrol Super Clean, this stuff is very strong, even when diluted!
