From what I've read - Meg's APC on leather = bad?

[dschia]

Both are good products in my eyes. I have been a long time user of Meg APC and Meg leather cleaner and of course many others. When it comes to thorough cleaning of leather, I picked meg leather cleaner over APC every time. I often experience that unevenness and dryness feel with APC especially on delicate, worn and extremely dirty leather even at a much more diluted ratio. The more I dilute, the more the cleaning performance dropped, and then you start rubbing more and more and causes more agitation, then more damage. Even at high dilution ratio, I still dont find it any safer than neat meg leather cleaner which clean extremely well at undiluted. YMMV

Don't use it on older wore leather. It can cause it to crack. It cleans better then the the dedicated Meg's leather cleaner, but I have never had an issue with the dedicated stuff damaging leather. I have damaged old leather with 10-1 APC. Almost all leather now is coated. Every once in a while I will run into un-coated, usually higher end foreign models and the notorious ford king ranch. If there is a question put a drop of water on it. If it's un-coated, it will absorb in. Hope this helps.
