Post How Do You clean Your Leather Seats?

I use the Meguiars instant leather wipes on my tan leather seats and it takes off the grime and black buildup extremely well.

You might want to try using that TV Infomercial stuff "Quick'n Brite" for your white leather, I have a friend who uses it and according to him he says it works great for tough leather stains, and cleans EVERYTHING off.

Dunno if it's true though, I've never seen him actually use it. Just my 2 cents.

What?! No one has said Zaino yet? Well I get to be the first then. The Leather Cleaner works great. I haven't come accross any mark that it won't take out. The Leather In A Bottle conditioner smells awesome and it suppose to provide UV protection. I used the Mequier's Leather cleaner, but am much much happier with Zanio.

We keep our white leather seats covered with seat covers made from white, terry cloth bath towels while we're driving around and just take them off for shows.
It'll make them last a lot longer, save them from wear and tear and keep them white.
When they do need cleaning, we use Zaino leather cleaner and treatment.

As a rule of thumb, two in one products such as a leather cleaner/conditioner don't do either of the advertised claims very well. Use a cleaner to clean and then follow with a conditioner to do it right. Lexol makes great leather care products, I would use lexol over meguiars or zaino any day. Good luck keeping that white leather white
