A damp chamois leather wiped over the surfaces each week keeps the dust right down and a nice matt sheen to everything. Best of all, it costs nothing. To be honest I have for some time questioned the need for these plastic cleaners and sprays being needed, at least beyond cleaning dirty surfaces anyway. For ingrained dirt in the steering wheel AutoGlym interior shampoo with a soft nailbrush working it in gently, followed by wiping down with a damp cloth will make it look very good. Don't forget to feed the leather covering though, it needs it just as much as the seats.
For other leather surfaces my old method was diluted cleaner in a small bowel wiped over the facing, with a soft nailbrush for ingrained bits, followed by wiping off with a wet then a damp cloth, and finally feeding. I don't like using neat stuff in case of the surface colouring dissolving (a problem on older Rolls-Royce/Bentleys models) The other thing about AutoGlym shampoo is that it smells nice. Shallow eh?
