Default Cleaning Leather

Last weekend one of my roommates got sick, and a small amount of puke landed on my back seat. I washed it off with soapy water but it left a residue. To clean it further, I used armorall leather cleaning/conditioning wipes and it has left streaks on the seats. I am now looking for a good cleaner/conditioning package to get the seats back to their matte finish. Can anyone make a recommendation? Have been looking at Meguiars aloe products and Lexol pH products.

Also, will any microfiber towel work for application/wiping?

Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner work good. You can clean with warm water and a 10:1 woolite solution. Make sure you condition after cleaning. Another top notch leather product is Leatherique. Coupled with the matching cleaner(Pristine Clean), it's probably one of the best leather treatments on the market. Kinda spendy though. Small kit of cleaner and conditioner is 40-50 bucks, but worth it if you want to maintain the leather.

I've used Lexol cleaner and conditioner on my RSX's leather and have been really happy with the results. Though I've only had standard grime to work on, haven't had to try and get out any puke stains.

The puke was cleaned but the armorall wipes left shiney streaks on the leather. I know that can't be good so I want to reclean/condition the seats to be safe. The lexol should be sufficient?
