cleaning /recond leatherseats?

What shall I use to wash/clean my front leather seats in the p38?

What colour are they and how dirty are they? I found jif works well but it's the sort of thing you dare only use once to twice and you'll need to condition the leather afterwards.

+1. I used a household spray cleaner (on biege leather) which worked wonders. Must make sure seats are dry before using leather feed. I did have some leather cream cleaner; can't remember make though.

Try this firm Bespoke Leathering Ltd,products are awsome,their on ebay as well cost's around £15 for the scuff kit.

they´re beige , kevwill , what kind of household spray cleaner ?
They´re "normally" dirty after 15 years , no stains or severe dirt

It was Dettol multi action cleaner, with a loverly smell of green apples. Spayed it on, left it for a few minutes, and they came up a treat.

Saddle soap and a cloth

i got some stuff off a valeter, spray it on a brush it and comes up great. cant remember what its called though lol

he needs to clean his seats not a brush

I use some kind a leather car foam found in an aftermarket store here in Japan, but I found out that using this foam with a small brash REALLY clean everything. I succeed to clean my seats and gave them back their original glow.

I used Jiff on mine & you wouldn't believe how well they came up & the amount of ingrained dirt that came out. I conditioned the leather after this though as it will dry the leather out.

You can buy 'leather smell' in a spray. Used car dealers use it. I bought some off ebay along with some cleaner and leather feed. I think they were called Buffalo but I'm not certain.

"wunderbaum" !!
(Don´t know if you have them in the uk though ),

Hi Mozz. Best stuff is Chelsea Leather Food by Caswell & Co Ltd of Kettering. Comes in a tin like a big shoe polish tin. Natural oils and waxes and sinks in to the leather.

Glyptone leather products.

+1 I've used all the glyptone products, gotta admit they are the dogs bollocks. 10 yr old seats come up like new

after youve cleaned them you can daily/weekly wipe them down with baby wipes cos they have moisturiser in them helps keep it supple preventing cracking
