LeatherCleaning

[Fly Boy]

So what do we all use for cleaning leather?
Not stains, just everyday dirt & grime.
mrs FB has part white leather in her car & I'm blamed for dirtying it.....
I need to clean it quickly & easily.
TIA

Baby wipes, straight up! they do a top job and are cheap as chips.

Agree with baby wipes! They soften the leather very slightly too!

But if the dirt is sticking, i'd suggest a old towel thats feeling it's had its use, and use Autoglym leather care cream. Makes the leather smeel new too!

Browse this web site, have used PS21 for exterior of car (looks like it's now PS222) and sonus for leather cleaning..

Good site for cleaning stuff

Liquidleather cleaner and conditioner by Gliptone - great stuff.

I've got the Gilptone stuff too, and results are OK, but there are tough bits it won't touch, and it does require a fair bit of elbow grease.

I'm reliably informed by a friend who restores old Fiat 500s and Citroen DSs (which frequently came with white leather!) that diluted thinners work a treat. He says to use a jaycloth in one hand and a towel in the other - wipe the thinners on, then immediately rub off with the towel. Might be an idea to try it on a non-visible piece first though!

Saddle soap, nothing better to re-condition the interior. Saddle soap is not a cleaning agent, it will restore it's suppleness and protect it and give it a new look.
