Using woolite

At first I bought the lexol cleaner and conditioner, but after reading some more, I decided to try the woolite/water solution instead of the lexol cleaner. My question is, what's the best way to use it? What type of applicator, how long should I let it sit, if at all, etc...

I'd recommend spraying the solution on the leather, and then using a leather brush to work it in. You can follow up with a microfiber towel for residue/drying. Follow up with the conditioner and enjoy.

Woolite should be diluted 5:1 and this is the process I use.
1. Moisten MF towel with diluted mixture and clean the area constantly folding the towel.
2. Use a new towel moistened with water only to "rinse" the cleaned section. Make sure you remove excess formula from the area you're working in. This may have to be done twice.
3. Buff the seats with a dry MF towel. I usually do the seats one at a time to allow for drying.
4. I then apply a conditioner using a MF pad and buff dry with a clean MF towel. Remove excess product in the seams and cracks with a light spray of water and a dry towel.

I have a 01 CL-S, and my seats are perforated. Will I have problem with the solution getting stuck in the lil holes?

The 3G seats are also perforated and I haven't had any problems with excess.

How do y'all get out the particles/dirt in the stitching? I tried a gas station vaccuum and my home vaccum with the crevice piece, all while trying to "pry" the seams, yet there's still plenty of lil particles stuck in there. I want to get my seats back to that all black look like when I bought it (used, by the way) instead of black with dark brown stitching!

Also, how do you get gunk out of the perforations in the seat? My sister dropped ice cream on one of the seats, and although I wiped it off immediately, you can still see the the white in the perforations.
