Cleaning Nappa Leather
This car I clean, showing signs of the conditioner weeks after I did the process. Now I buffed off the Meguires Leather Conditioner very thorougly. And when I was done, I checked to make sure that I got it all. Now three weeks later, I see white in the leather, and in the small cracks. What is wrong here. What should I do to make it stop.

~One mans opinion / observation~
Some cars have untreated leather, sometimes called Nappa or Cirrus. The easiest way to tell is to sprinkle a few drops of water onto the leather, if the water is absorbed into the leather and looks like a stain, it’s untreated if the water is not absorbed then it’s treated. It should be cleaned by applying a cleaning solution (Water /Woolite or Dreft 5:1 or stronger) on to an applicator pad and apply to one area at a time (do not soak the fabric)
~Hope this helps~
