Cleaning Leather

What is the best product for cleaning Magnolia Coloured Seats?

Contact LTTsolutions.net or buy some Gliptone and don't forget to warm the leather first and condition it afterwards.

Don't waste money on leather conditioning products, car leathers have been protected for many a year now, including the high end ones.
As such, nothing bar water can penetrate it, so a regular wipe with a cleaning solution or damp cloth, after vacuuming the debris acting like sandpaper, first.
If you go down the LTT route mentioned above, which I would recommend, then their protector would be useful to add to the order.
Those two will be all you need to keep your leather looking it's best, if used regularly.

thanks, i read in another post that boiling water is a good method for removing as much grim and dirt before i condition the seats.

Looks like the old fashioned elbow grease method will be comming out again.

Be extremely carefull with boiling water or steam!!! If you get the leather too hot the protein strands denature and contract which makes the leather very hard. (This was how 'cuir bouille' armour was made.) It is not a reversible process.

Definitely not advised.
Get yourself, and yes unfortunately it does involve spending a reasonable amount, the cleaner and protector from LTT Solutions.
Much, much safer to use than very hot water.
