cdowns, wow, that was the BEST trick i have ever learned. i usually hate when people tell me something that "grandpa" used on (insert car part/problem here) and it works better than the real products. my response is usually "if it works so great then 3m, meguires, dupont, ppg, etc etc, would make some version of it" . in this case i have prob 3 or 4 diff leather cleaners and the gojo ripped through the dirt and got the seats perfectly clean. the meguires was like 10 bucks for 10 ounces, the gojo is 8 bucks for a half gallon. thanks for the great tip!
