How To Clean The Leather??

Gents,

This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you clean the perforated leather without getting the leather cream stuck in the perforations???

Many thanks in advance.

Apply the cream to your towel, rub the cream into the towel. Then apply small amounts to on the leather.

I used a good saddle soap (neutral color) and a sponge and water. Generate a stiff foam with handwarm water. Apply the foam and rub it in, and than use a clean cotton cloth to rub the seats. Repeat the procedure if required and let the seats completely dry for a day before sitting in them again. It works perfect and does not clog the perforated seats. It brings back the silk type finish. The glossy appearance what you get with any greasy type "cream" does not appear.

Zymol cleaner doesn't clean at all. Zaino leather cleaner works really well but may be a little harsh if your seats have been dyed over.

I have that and I don't really like it. Makes the seats smooth and buttery, but doesn't really clean.

Gotta admit, was a doubter of Leatherique...NOT ANYMORE.

First real treatment I got results.

Here is the thread.

BEFORE...untreated



Yesterday after first real treatment



I am told the more I treat it.....the better it gets. Just takes time.

The Prestine Clean just keeps it clean between conditioning...the Leather (Rejuven) Oil is the Big Dog. No creams so no perforation worries. Nice.....

A Great Idea

I must admit, I fisrt heard of this from Newton22, posting with the same problem, (he was using his mother's S class and lost control,of self and car)anyway:
his TIP was to wear "Depends" with a light pre-spray of "Mothers Leather Love Spray".

leatherique without a doubt is the best leather conditioner I have used. I have tried many products over the years but leatherique being a all natural solution can make your leather supple as it came from factory. I used it on my cracked sun beaten leather couches as well. The leather was so hard that it would crack if you flex it. I applied leatherique 4-5 times and it softened right up. I let it soak for several days. The entire process took me 2-3 weeks.
