Detailing Products - Leather/Engine

After the winter, the leather looks a bit worn in the seats, around the windows, dashboard, and console so looking to give it a good cleaning as the weather warms up.

Anyone have suggestions for cleaning the inside with products to look for and avoid for leather? With the multiple materials, trying to find the best way to go about the more fabric parts, the plastic trim, and the leather.

What about engine cleaning? So much dust and not sure if a hose to it would do the trick or if there is a better step to go about it to clean up the internals under the hood.

Can't help you with the leather, as Im currently trying to find a good cleaner/conditioner. But as far as the engine bay goes, I honestly like to use simple green. Its a natural non corrosive cleaner. I just spray on and then spray it down with the hose (usually a finer setting on my nozzle), trying to minimize the water hitting electrical components, alternator etc.

Thank you. Simple Green seems to get some high recommendations across the forums.
