What to use to clean ultra white seats?

I use AutoGlym Leather Cleaner often, & occasionally the Leather Conditioner. This guy (with an unfortunate co. name) has great videos for technique... (I only tried his paint sealer & wheel gel products) How to Condition Leather Seats | AMMO NYC
Why don't people follow the official Tesla instructions? They only suggest rubbing alcohol, and it works perfectly.
From page 160:
Polyurethane Seats
Wipe spills as soon as possible using a soft cloth moistened with warm water and non-detergent soap. Wipe gently in a circular motion. For difficult stains on ultra-white seats, use isopropyl alcohol, then wipe with a damp cloth. After cleaning, allow the seats to air dry.

I had an issue with jean transfer this past weekend. Isopropyl worked pretty well. Did a video for those interested:
I have X with white seats. I have had the car since March (so about 6 months). I haven't cleaned my seats until today. Yeah, they certainly get discolored (blue jeans in my case). I took non scented baby wipes (I use Amazon basics for my 2 year old). They got the job done. Wiped for about 3 minutes and gets the blue color off. So I am vouching that the seats do pick up color but they are resistant in that they can be wiped off with only water and rubbing. The stitches do retain the color somewhat. I guess the resistance coating isn't on the stitching thread as much as its on the leather.
We've had our first ultra white S 100D since March 2017 - and the seats are still ultra white, using baby wipes for spot cleaning, and whenever we enter the car with damp or sweaty clothing, we use a couple of ultra white large towels draped over the seats to prevent transfer to the seats. And that's worked fine. Seats still look amazing!
We are a vinyl/PPF/detailing shop in Redwood City specializing in Tesla's and doing a full ceramic coat of the white interior is often a good idea to keep them clean!
That's good to know for difficult stains, but it doesn't say what to use for general periodic cleaning.
We have been using wax and cleaners made by the Chemical Guys, they now sell on Amazon and have lots of you tube videos for instructions. There are stores in the LA and OC areas.
