Cleaning leather car seats

Post by andy205 »

Hi, what leather cleaner should I use?
Blue dye from a pair of new jeans has marked my seats, the seats are cream/ light brown Nappa leather.
Any advise/recommendations welcome
Thanks

I've used Auto gleam products in the past to clean and protect leather.
You'll be surprised how well you can clean up leather. But whatever you do try out products on a patch of leather that isn't visible, I wouldn't go strait in all over the seat.
Have a look on Yahoo (other search engines are available)
Keep us posted on how it goes

I have the oyster Dakota leather in my f30, thats almost white. After I clean it, within the week it's dirty all over again.

I use the leather cleaner from Colour Lock. They have a mild cleaner and a strong cleaner. Theild one does the trick most of the time.
It's the man next door!
