A real world test would be tough as you would need to have actual buildup on the leather (i.e.dirtied in a realistic way) since that layer most likely will provide a buffering action between the slightly abrasive ME and the leather itself.

I wouldn't be against using the ME on some of the plastic/vinyl parts, but the leather makes me nervous.

My car (see avatar) is a 2008. My normal "routine" is to simply wipe the interior including leather with MF (not ME, MF!) during/after each exterior cleaning. Perhaps with a very low concentration of regular car wash soap. Quick and easy. A time or two a year I use some of the highly recommended products for the leather. This routine led me to the shiny difficult to clean and very non-OEM looking leather, which was nicely corrected with ME. Personally I would actually be more nervous about ME on harder parts like plastic (or which I would never do - paint/clear coat).
