This product works well
I've used this on a white jacket and a black pair of pants with no problems. It cleans and conditions the leather. Make sure you follow the directions.

cleaner/conditioner works well, but pricey.
I purchased the cleaner/conditioner for my WHITE racing pelle because I figured that dainese tailors their cleaning agents for their leather products. I clean my jacket after every (other) ride due to it being a white jacket. The cleaning agent works well when applied promptly after riding. Dainese suggests that you clean bug guts immediately so that stains do not set in. The conditioner leaves a nice sheen to the leather and adds that new-leather smell. I am satisfied with the products cleaning capability, but am dissatisfied with the amount of cleaning required for owning a white jacket.

Does work, if you follow the instructions
The stuff works if you follow the instructions. You can't let the dirt build up and you must only use a gentle circular motion during both the cleaning and the protection applications. I used the stuff to clean my Dainese Yu Lady white one-piece race suit. It's an awesome white again, except for a spot by the knee where I squashed one of those nasty, juicy bleeding-yellow bugs. Ick. There the leather is still slightly stained. The only reason it gets 3 stars instead of 5, is price alone. My kit came with the suits, I don't think I would have bought it had I known how expensive the kit is. It lasts for two treatments! Dainese says to use it on your gear 2-3 times a year or more as needed. I clean my gear once a year, twice tops.
Try saddle soap to clean and then follow it up with leather lotion for a cost-effective alternative, however it will take a lot longer since you have to "rinse" the saddle soap with a moist cloth as you go, then let the garment dry, apply the leather lotion, let it dry yet again, and finally buff the entire suit with a soft boot brush to bring out its natural shine. However, I don't know what it would do to Dainese's D-Skin suits in the long run, since that leather goes through a special process to make is supple using silicone, waxes and whatnot. I think I'm going to stick to the Dainese cleaner kit for my Dominia two-piece, since it is a D-Skin suit.

Doesn't work!!
SUCKS!!! My BF spent $35 to clean his off-white suit and it did NOTHING!! Then I tried it on my white leather jacket. Couldn't even clean off surface dirt. We were worried we weren't scurbbing hard enough or something, and it ended up RUINING a tiny spot on the leather we tested it on. And the dirt was still there!!!
We ended up using a furniture/car leather cleaner by Blue Magic I bought at CVS and it worked instantly.
