Help! Sunscreen Tranferred from Skin to Nappa Leather - What do I do?
My family has a 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 (equipped with Nappa Leather) and apparently some of my family ended up having their sunscreen transfer onto the leather of the car on the seats, doors, and armrest.
Because of this, I have some questions I must ask:
1. Would Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean remove it and recondition it (I have to recondition it since the previous owner used something like Armor All and made some of the leather covering the airbags rougher than usual Nappa)?
2. Would the instructions in the "How to" sticky (https://mbworld.org/forums/detailing...atherique.html) be the proper way to apply the Leatherique?
3. Should I go for the 16 or 32oz. kit?: http://www.glisteningperfectionstore...tioning/Detail
3. Can the Leatherique products be applied to every surface with leather?
Thank you for all the help/

no worries...leatherique will defintily do the trick. The whole process will make the leather better than new. Get the 32 oz rejuvinator and the 16oz prestine clean...you always use more RO than you do PC. Let me know if you have further questions

Since body dirt and oil are a big stain factor in leather; be cognizant of bare skin when you are in your vehicle.
Leather Master Rapid S Cleaner (A-Aniline / Non-Coated) (P-Protected / Coated) is a concentrated cleaner specifically designed for automotive leather (including Nappa and Perforated) that have accumulated dirt, soil, and dye transfer and body oils.
Prevention - If you or your girlfriend / wife use suntan lotion a lot, be sure to use a towel when you get back in your vehicle so that the oil does not get onto your leather. You should also use a towel when leaving the gym as perspiration contains organic acids

I saw a package on your website and I was wondering: Is it better to use the pads included or to use your hands as stated in the insturctions I found?
