Removal of Glossy Film from Leather?

BostonRob · 06-02-2008, 10:18 PM

What's the best way to remove that ArmorAll-like film from leather? I recently tried some Maguiars Leather Wipes on my seats and apparently it leaves behind a greasy film that I can't stand.

Any tips / tricks out there?

i would get some CG leather cleaner.

you could also use woolite (can buy at grocery store) but im not sure of the proper dilution ratio.

CG leather cleaner/conditioner works great, my interior looks nice and dark/non greasy

I've been using Pinnacle Leather Cleaner & Conditioner with good results.

I switched from Pinnacle Leather Cleaner and Pinnacle Leather Conditioner (2 products) to the one, without a noticable difference.

I also use it on my dash, wood trim, and all interior plastic, though the interior is usually just dusty, and not really dirty. Leaves a minimal haze on the wood trim, which I remove with a MF towel.
