+1 for Autoglym leather cleaner and balm.

I used it recently on my 2014 F30 which has coral red (owned since new). I've always used a damp cloth in the past, this was the first time I tried Autoglym and the cleaner brought out quite a bit of dirt that the damp cloth hadn't removed.

Balm didn't affect the colour of the leather, but the texture was smoother and the leather looked healthier. Yeah it does look a little shiny for several hours after applying the balm, then you have a matt finish which so far has lasted for a month after applying it.

I'd say before/after is like how your hands look when you have dry skin compared to what they look like after moisturising.
