What can I use to clean leather seats brush, microfiber and be gentle at the same time without causing premature wear?
 
According to the specialists, cleaning should be done with a foam product - the foam doing all the work and not needing any agitation.

MFs aren't advised also, specially if the leather already has some cracks, since the remaining coating will be pulled by the microfibers.

So far so good.
 
If we are talking about the coated leather found in most cars, then my go-to has been a kiwi shoe brush and i use it only with very light pressure..... just to work the product (I use Cyclo CM30 APC @ 20:1) in and agitate some of ingrained dirt loose.

Haven't had an issue to date

I have one and it seems to be kind of stiff don't want to cause any damage I also have the Autogeek sell which seems to be more stiff. I also use a microfiber (waffle weave) scrubbing pads which seems to give otc leather cleaner an extra cleaning power and the pad has color on it which is pulling the stuff off the seat but not quick enough which make me think that it's dye transfer so I quess keep on experimenting to seems what is effective.

My only problem is thinking that I can cause damage with a apc type of products. Do you think apc can remove dye transfer? The car is 2012 with coated leather.
