I did the Ivory soap/Pledge cleaning... beautiful! The Pledge gives the perfect protection. The leather is nice and slippery, but at the same time it's not greasy or yucky.
I tried it at the beginning of the summer, the pledge works great!
BTW jeff, check out the thread in one of the other forums on the board, whichever one i put it in. A few of us are planning to head to the strip Oct 18. You should come.
