Leather honey is pretty great stuff. I also like lexol leather cleaner if it's really dirty.
In any case, you should clean it and then lubricate it soon afterwards.
That looks like an older coach bag. If it is, that'll last a lifetime, or longer--I inherited a couple of my grandma's vintage coach bags from the 70s when she passed.
Lexol leather cleaner (orange bottle) is available at auto parts stores, walmart, amazon-Lexol Cleaner
Once its clean, it wouldn't hurt to have some conditioner around. There are many but lexol's a good product. Lexol Conditioner brown bottle.
Try Lexol Cleaner with a toothbrush to clean the white stitching.
r/autodetailing will have more information on specifics here.
What I would try is to let it dry completely, then go pick up some of this Lexol cleaner, and then some of their conditioner and use both to get it cleaned up and conditioned. This gets my seats like new pretty consistently and makes the inside of your car smell fantastic.
As /u/code-sloth said, The Bare Minimum Supplies List is a great start.
For your specifics, I would suggest:
Leather:
Lexol Leather Cleaner
Lexol Leather Conditioner
Plastics inside, I would use an Interior Detailer. Some people like 303, I personally like InnerClean by CG.
Aluminum rims, check out some metal polish. Are your rims clearcoated or pure aluminum?
And what are you trying to do with your paint? Are you looking for paint correction?
Larry from AMMO has a video about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bd_IqK5ydU
I also use Lexol Cleaner for my seats. Lexol has great products and I have used them for years and years.
I've been using this one for a couple years and love it. I apply before winter and then once before storing shoes for the summer. I use this cleaner before applying the wax. All in all it usually takes 20 mins per shoe.
Thanks for the replay,
Is this the conditioner?

And do I need this one and the redwing one?
As for the cleaning, should I buy this one?

Or should I just clean with a wet rag and bot use cleaners?
As for the sizing, I have worn them for a few times by now for a bit of walking and I am getting a bit of creasing https://imgur.com/a/vx1yJ
Is this the way it should go? From the big toe side to the end of the stitching in the pinky side ?
Edit:
My left shoe creasing seems a bit scrambled I think

I asked a similar question a while back, and it seems you clean it with leather cleaner and then treat it with a leather conditioner. Leather is treated animal skin, so you want to use a 'lotion' of sorts to keep it supple after you clean it.
I have also heard good things about Griot's Garage and Lexol for leather products.
Lexol has a combo kit that is pretty good for interiors. I know a buddy that uses it.
Which of the CG leather care products do you use? Sometimes they have so many similar products that it can be hard to find the right one.

I don't really bother waterproofing all my gear since it never rains in SoCal, but I do reapply a layer of paraffin wax to my boots once a year. Buy a box from walmart for a few bucks, take one of the bricks, melt it onto the leather with a hairdryer or heatgun, rub into a thin transparent layer with a rag.
For winter, I wear a proper wool sweater. For more winter, wear more sweater.

also maguires makes alot of good products.
Hi! I'm a super newbie to detailing and want to start with the interior of my car. I have a 2001 Lexus LS 430 that is in mostly good shape, but the interior black leather has never(!) been cleaned or conditioned (yikes!). It has only normal wear though, no weird staining, for the most part has only been used by adults (no kids) and no food/drink in the car, so just body oils and dirt from time.
I want to use Mothers Leather Wash Foaming Cleaner, based on a few posts I've seen in this forum and am wondering where to buy one of those soft bristle brushes I see used in this video and this post? Do you think a specific leather-cleaning product is necessary or should I just use a Meguiar's APC diluted (as mentioned here)?
I'm also still confused about whether or not to condition the leather after--I've seen conflicting information about coating on the leather that makes conditioning pointless.
Right now, I am leaning towards coating since my leather is so old and definitely does look a little dry/creased (no cracking yet, thank god!), I'll probably get the Lexol conditioner if so.
Also, for the dash and door panels, which are covered in leather, can I use the general 303 or Meguiar protective treatments on them or is there a leather-specific product?
The full list of what I intend to get to clean the interior of my car:
Just wondering what you all think and if you have any tips!
Just wanted to add my humble advice on the jean stains. I had horrible ones from dark jeans on my tan leather. Using Lexol Leather Cleaner and a Kiwi Horse Hair Brush with a tiny bit of water completely removed the stains for me. I follow up with Lexol Leather Conditioner.
