A machine? You clean your carpets with some sort of machine? :shock:

I think most of us will use a vacuum cleaner...

Use a dedicated leather cleaner first to remove any dirt, using APC only for sections that are heavily soiled. I personally use ValetPRO brushes on leather as they are very gently but allow you to work up a lather which is very effective for removing ingrained dirt. On automotive leather, there is no "feeding" as such, the term conditioner really is very misleading - it wont make it any more supple, the only thing it can do is provide UV protection to prevent the leather from being sun damaged.
Thanks Benjamin, I will get a litre of that APC from t'bay - but those brushes are a bit on the steep side for me, can I use a normal leather shoe brush...??

I do have some detailing brushes for the hard to reach places so I may use that instead.
