Leather care

[cleoent]

Hey guys! I have that damn grey leather interior that always manages to get dirty. What leather care products do you guys recommend? I have been to the car wash twice in the past month to have them fix up my leather but they don't to a good job, i have lots of horrible stains and the leather looks like crap. Any advice?
Thanks

*I* personally have not done this.. so I really cant say if this will help you or damage your seats or what not.. you may want to try it on a hidden piece of leather to test it out..


Someone in the past used I believe finger nail polish remover on a rag to clean the seats and supossedly it removed the dirt very well...



But if you dont want to go that extreme...
I would try Connolly Leather Cleaner and then conditioner...

Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Ferrari use connolly leather in their cars... it would only make sense that their cleaner/conditioner is also very good

Something cheaper would be Lexol Leather Cleaner

Try the back of the seat.. there will be a little leather there to try one... or the bottom of the seat.. the side of the seat has leather thats not out in the open

Cool, good luck to me! I will never buy a bmw with light interior again, i want my black leather again!

I have a tan interior... it manages to stay pretty clean



and I meant the rear seat since i didnt mention that

tan or black is the way to go, thanks for clearing up the rear seat thing, if anything goes bad don't worry i know who to blame, you'll be hearing from my lawyer... j/k
Thanks for the advice.

lol

if you go with connolly let me know how it goes... EVERYONE praises their leather products that I have heard... I dont think you could go wrong with them

Roger that! I'll post here after my experiment.
