Leather cleaner

Speed6 · 12-31-06, 09:27 PM

As we all know, our cars are aging, but i want my leather to look good, i suppose thats why people get the black interrior. so lemme know what makes the tan look good, tried saddle soap, but that seemed to get the seats dirtier in the long run

Mr. Clean magic eraser with plenty of water, rag to wipe the water up, and then follow up with either lexol cleaner and then conditioner or use meguiars leather care. Turns out pretty good for me.

I 2nd the magic eraser, but make sure you use a good conditioner afterwards.

try out teh aloe cleaner adn conditioner from meguiars. also this is very important,. before you clean your leather make sure you either get a air hose or a detail brush ( my favorite) and go in all the cracks in the seat and get all of te dirt particals off the seat before you clean it and rub all those things into your leather, ouch! also lexol is a good cleaner we use at our shop.

I hate my leather...I need to get it all redone

and the tan (type F) seems to get dirty the easiest which is even worse considering what I do for a living

lostalegend · 01-01-07, 05:03 PM

i havnt tried the magic eraser. i think we have it at our shop but have never seen what it can do. ill try it out tommorow.

i would not use meguiars or mothers on the leather, ive been using zaino on my new leather and love it! smells very good, doesnt leave the leather greasy. reall good stuff.

WASSUP GUYS, WHAT I DO TO KEEP MY SEATS CLEAN AND HEALTHY IS SIMPLE, USE GLASS OR WHEEL CLEANER WITH A SCRUB BRUSH AND A RAG

SPRAY EACH SEAT ATA TIME WITH GLASS CLEANER, USE THE SCRUB BRUSH TO SCRUB SEAT, IF YOU HAVE TAN SEATS WHICH MOST DO, YOU WILL SEE THE DIRT ON THE BRUSH AND IN THE WET SEATS, THEN USE THE RAG TO WIPE DIRT OFF. IF YOUR SEATS ARE DIRTY YOU WILL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE. AFTER THIS THEN USE A GOOD SHINER OR CONDITIONER LIKE THE LEXOL WHICH IS GOOD BUT ALSO I USE THE ARMORALL LEATHER (THE BROWNTOP) MAKES THE SEATS REALLY SOFT.

THE IDEA IS TO HAVE YOUR SEATS SHINY BUT HAVE THEM CLEAN FIRST

BTW, Leatherique makes a good conditioner that helps soften old leather while we're on the topic of leather care products.
