I tried to use McGuire Gold (spelling?) and Zymol leather clearn/conditioners on the coupe but since it got perforrated (spelling?) seats (aka little holes) the white cleaner stuff get stuck in there which is impossible to clean. How do you guys do it?

I've used the M-B leather cleaner and interior cleaner (for the M-B Tex parts) several times on my Java interior with excellent results. The leather cleaner is a one-step cleaner/conditioner, and does not darken the material. I have had the problem of the cleaner "clogging" the perforations, and I've gently used a fine pin to clean out the holes that got stopped up.

umm...that'll take like forever (considering there's like 300+ holes per seat panel. Also, I have charcoal leather so its worse (the products are typically white or cream color).

Use Lexol-white cream, but after application, leaves not residue

Is there like clear leather cleaner/conditioner or clear spray type?? Thanks guys.

I use the Meguiars pop up leather cleaning cloths on my oyster interior.... they work very well. If you keep up with it, like weekly, they don't get so dirty.

yeah i also wonder how to clean them

because it has many holes

what if the leather cleaner got inside the holes?

MarkL

Well actually, I've only had to clean 10-15 holes on each panel during one cleaning. Although I try to spread the cleaning "cream" evenly on the cloth, where you first contact the seat is usually where the stuff gets in the holes. By the time you've moved to another section, the cleaner has spread out. Maybe you're using too much cleaner. I can see what you mean though w/ the darker interior.

Maybe that'll work for charcoal, but if it's a lighter color, I don't think that will work for very long. We're not talking about stains -- eventually, a light coating of just plain "soil" will build up and if you don't clean it often, you'll never get it off.

Then use Zaino and 100% american cotton towels

for leather cleaner and conditioner and it will rejuvenate the leather scent, too...

i just use regular clean damped towel. I like to keep the leather smell.

i was using vinyl\leather condtioner/cleaner by blue magic, got it at the local automotive store western auto or something i am sure pep boys have it, doesnt leave a shine, no residue, no holes to clean out, works really well imo. my car still smells like new leather.

There appears to be a few good products being used...I am currenlty using Mother's California leather cleaner and Mother Calif leather conditioner...they work really well. Its amazing how much dirt comes off the leather even though it doesn't appear dirty.
