Leather cleaning products: Spray or Goop?

I have heard of a couple good leather cleaners and conditioners. My question is which is better: buying the stuff as a spray, or a bottle of the goop that you apply via cloth. The problem I see with the goop is that it would get into all the holes in the TL's leather. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

If you have perferated leather (holes in the leather), you should use the spray instead of the goop.

Paste or spray the only thing that makes any differene between them is the product not its delivery system.

Perforated Leather:
Should be routinely cleaned using a pH-balanced, non-alkaline cleaner (6:1 Distilled water / Woolite® solution) to loosen and lift grease and grime without drying the leather or affecting the hide's natural pH.
In addition to regular cleaning, leather requires replacement of natural oils

Apply to a warm surface to help the oils penetrate (warm with the suns heat or a hairdryer) allow sufficient time (preferably overnight) for the oils to permeate the leather.

Use a product that will dry without leaving a residue in the perforations of the leather or a greasy surface.
Recommended products Groit's Leather Care or Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil

Application Methodology:
•Apply 3-4 ounces of the conditioning oil onto each of the seats with a light to medium pressure
•Best applied to a warm surface to help the oils penetrate the coating (warm with the suns heat or a hairdryer)
•Ensure complete coverage of surfaces, especially the seams
•Allow sufficient time (preferably overnight) for the oils to permeate the coating and the leather underneath.
•Buff the surface with a clean 100% cotton Microfiber towel
