Leather Problem (Stone Interior Bl*ws)

I gave my G a detail today and closely took a look at my leather and was surprised at how filthy it was. Went out and bought some Meguirs wipes to see if i can get rid of the dirt but there was no use. Not only is the leather dirty on the surface, but in the leather as well. No matter how hard i rubbed the wipe, there was no difference. I neglected to clean the leather and this is what i get. Can anyone give me some advice as to what needs to be done to possibly remove the dirt from the leather? I'd imagine some scrubbing would do but I have no clue as to what products I need and what not. Give it a shot myself, or leave to a pro (which will no doubt cost more)?

I'd really appreciate some input guys! (And if this has been answered before, i apologize. If there's a thread specifically on this topic, can someone direct me to it)?

Thanks again!

Also could try the Sonax all-in-one also from detailed image. Works well and is a single step.

Buy some lexol leather CLEANER, several applicator sponges (The ones covered with terry cloth) bucket, several clean, white terry towels, soft bristled brush.
Wait for a day with low ambient humidity...
Wet sponge in water, put lexol, work up a lather and apply and rub liberally to leather, the real dirty areas scrub gently with the brush, one section at a time. Remove lather with moist towel, rinse a few times, let dry.
Apply leather conditioner of your choice (I like lexol, but zaino, leatherique, etc) work as well. Presto! Your stone leather interior is like new again
UV rays, human skin sweat, sunblock or suntan lotion are your seats enemies.
Cheers,
Daniel

Agreed... Leatherique with a interior specific brush works great.

I agree the Leatherique Prestine Clean and Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil is a great combo to help remove tough stains and restore the leather and it can also be used for basic maintenance. If you need to remove tough stains a brush like the DI Brushes Leather and Vinyl Scrub Brush is a big help. If you have any questions please let me know.
