I have a friend who does valeting and got him in to do mine with all thr right tools it was incredible what dirt came out of the leather although it looked fine to me then he put some leather restorer in and it was like bran new even the worn boulster looked a lot better. It was worth 50 quid and I tell you there is a lot of leather to clean if u are all leather?? Good luck sorry cant remember the products he uses but they are the best he does all high end cars

Best I have found for a good clean is a good quality soap (Something like Dove - with added 30% moisturisers )
Use a fairly damp sponge in warm water, plenty of soap, and off you go. Wipe off with a clean damp sponge, and dry with a towel. Then when it's dry a qood quality leather cream.

He was asking how to clean the car not get rid of genital parasites

If this method works you could strip naked and get an East European Cleaner to do you and the car at the same time

Gliptone do some good stuff, both cleaner and "moisturiser". I haven't seen it in shops, but is freely available on the web from a search.

He doesn't have to be East European
Seriously it does work, it gives it a really good clean. Never heard of 'Saddle Soap'?

^ +1 - Go to a sadlery/tack shop/fleabay and treat your seats to a bar of propper saddle soap. Use with a very slightly damp cloth. (Q. Why do men like women dressed in leather? A. Because they smell like the inside of a TVR)

...and put aside a couple of days.

Someone told me my interior was dirty and I hadn't really noticed until they said, so I started cleaning, that showed up another bit, which showed up...

The I got some dye to match in the damage on the bolster...

wet wipes, god knows what's in them but they work on anything and must be safe if you can use them on a baby! if you've got any old glue on the trim from when they built your car a little bit of white spirt on a cloth will get rid of it, just wipe it clean afterwards.

Use it on boots, but imperative follow up with another treament / moisturiser. It's not recommended for softer leathers. Tried it on my mask and the mouth zip now sticks. Where's the :getmestraightjacket: smilie?
