As a leather ceraftsman, I would not recommend it at all. EVER!
Reason is simple, one ingrediant in Pledge is "Naphta,petroleum,light alkylate" What does it do??
This is a hydrocarbon solvent-based dispersant formulation which combines oil penetrability. In other words remember the label says "smear and smudge proof"? These are the ingredients that will break down and remove the smears, finger or dermal tissue oils.
leather has natural oils and NEEDS them in order to keep from cracking and drying out. Remeber, Leather is SKIN...or "Dermal Tissue"
Use something made to use on Leather. Saddle Soap, Mink Oil, Neatsfoot oil, or anyother leather CONDITIONER to condition (add needed oils, and Protect your Leather)

Still looking good.

What most people don't realize is that most leather these days has a plastic coating on it. The surface you see is most likely plastic and not leather. As a test, drop a bead of water on the leather. If it soaks in it's a true leather surface. If it beads, the leather has a thin plastic coating on it. For this any cleaner that works on plastic will work on this king of leather. It's actually better.
