Cleaning Porcelain (White) Leather in C63

Hello,

I recently purchased a C63 with a Black/Porcelain (White) leather interior. (I call it Shamu colored). I was wondering what the best way and product to clean the white (and black) leather without damaging it or changing its color at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The dirty one...
I've been using HD Total for a few years on several delicate white leather interiors with excellent results. You can dilute it to your exact needs and it is extremely safe and effective. Simply spray a small portion on a water dappened soft brush and gently aggitate. Then wet wipe residual chemical and soiling with a damp clean towel and you're set .

It sure is, but there is a newer version being released any day. Same product, but offered in a different way via concentrated formulation.
