That is the only one that really does a number on jean transfer, and it is not shiny. It is hard to find, as well.

I love the Mercedes Cabin Care Spray. I've been using it for two years and even with three kids my interior/seats look like they did when new. It leaves no oily residue. I can't comment on how well it does getting the blue dye off because I have a black interior but I will say that my wipe down last week left my white terry cloth towel very blue.

I've used the consumer version of what Brocktoon is referring to but I've found it to be a little too oily. I use it on my all weather floor mats and liners. It makes them look like new. Pretty much all of the Meguiars stuff is great. If you have a black GL, you should spend some time on their website. They have everything you need to keep a black car looking good.

Hey guys.... after 6 yrs worth of corvettes and cleaning them up for shows, etc. AND 4yrs worth of the GL .... this is the best interior cleaner stuff on the market! Not cheap.... but will provide amazing results on all leather and vinly surfaces. Then.... if you want the finishing touch, get their leather treatment stuff... fantastic! The car smells like brand new again! Heres the web link: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...rrivals&page=1


if it doesn't work.... just go to griotsgarage.com and look up "interior cleaner"

I use the Griots Interior Cleaner too. Very mild but effective. It can be used on ALL interior surfaces including leather. It is a cleaner, not a protectant.

I like Aerospace 303 for a protectant. Not too oily nor too much shine. But I wouldn't use it on the seats.
