I can vouch for Leatherique as well.  In addition to my '62 LeBaron, I own a 1986 Jaguar XJ6 Series III.  I bought that car two years ago and the leather was in very good condition...although fairly stiff from sitting.  Over a three month period using Leatherique, I was able to not only clean the dirt from crevices, but was able to soften the leather considerably.
