light leather interior - must read thread...

[70proof]

hi all

gosh, i am not asking a question, well blow me down..... can i catch my breath...

if you have a light coloured leather interior, thought i would share some cleaning advice...

we have a white leather sofa in our family room, with 3 kids, soft italian leather...
was looking rather dirty, and despite using stuff recommended by furniture village, couldn;t shift the grime.. so the sofa was on last chance saloon, a shame given there were minimal cracks and imperfections still in the leather....

on a whim bought today turtle wax leather cleaner and conditioner wipes from halfords for the car.....
sofa looks like new, seriously, 5 wipes later and all ?the dye from our clothing has been lifted off...

so, if you want to clean your interior, or want to recommend something to your detailer, try this.
best wishes....
ps there may be better things in the detailing world, but these wipes are cheap and readily available.

That's an awesome tip; needs to be in the General Gassing section not just reserved for this section!

PS white leather sofa and 3 kids... I suppose you go BASE jumping in your spare time, too.

been very very lucky, boys now 11 to 6, never, ever had to deal with a pen mark anywhere.... their crayons are freely available, they all used scissors from a young age!!! hope its the same with booze, money and women with them when they are older!!!

before anyone shouts custard test, seems to be a PH thing here, this is result after 5 wipes, a few more concentrating on the edges and should be perfect.... sofa is used daily and 4 years old....



sorry, no before pictures, wasn;t expecting this given everything else i had tried...
