Default Cleaning leather seats with soap.

Does anyone remember a thread of maybe 5-6 years ago where a member had used some type of
soap aggitated with a soft brush to clean leather seats.The pic's posted were amazing,the seats came up like new.I can't seem to find it now or remember who the OP was.

Can't remember the details but the soap you want is Saddle Soap from many craft shops or horse chandlers.
