Perforated finished leather Leather Master™ Foam Cleaner - the advantageof foam over liquid is the minimum amount of moisture, very important for cleaning absorbent and moisture sensitive (Aniline, including perforated) finished leathers. Leather Master™ Foam Cleaner is a solvent free pump action product, which is extremely efficient for the cleaning of general soiling and water based stains.

Scratched or Scuffed finished leather – If the pigment coating is scratched it needs to be repaired and no amount of cleaning and 'conditioning' will make it go away. The surfaces need to be correctly prepped and then a pigment (colour) added. By using this kit from Leather Magic; wipe the leather down with the solution, using the 220 grit sand paper; this will remove most of the minor creases. Apply 3-4 thin coats of pigment (allow to dry between coats) you have the option to spray the final coat with a sprayer (all included in kit) – Leather Magic Repair

herbkirshrot is infamous around these parts
Use Lexol leather conditioner sparingly and message by hand. Don't use a hair dryer or steamer on perforated leather. If you need color, use a water based, air-brush application and top-dye like much leather is done originally. My experience suggests it's hard to recommend sanding leather for any reason.
