Need some help,

I need to clean the seats in my car, where my little girl has been in the back with jeans etc it has discoloured the leather. What is the best thing to use to restore it back to the original colour?

Many thanks

Ive personally always found "Zaino Z9" leather cleaner to be absolutely brilliant. Spray it on, agitate with a soft brush then wipe down with a clean microfibre cloth.

My old TT had cream leather and it got years worth of die and stains etc out of the leather with ease.

Zaino is great, the one I reach but I've been using these products lately: Doctor Leather, great stuff http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...-products.html

I'm currently using the Dr Leather wipes, not used them for removing stains but they do a good job keeping the leather a nice Matt finish rather than glossy!

Dr Leather wipes are the best.
You shouldn't use leather creams on modern leather the the majority of it is coated and all you will be is put a layer of cream on top which will attract even more dirt and dust than

Anyone tried the Gliptone stuff? I've been meaning to pick some up but haven't got around to it yet.

For one off cleaning, I just use an APC diluted. The one specific leather cleaner which worked quite well was from LTT http://www.lttsolutions.co.uk/shop/auto.html

Cheers,

Will have a go with the Zaino and see how that goes

Gliptone and a very soft nail brush for a deep clean. And Dr Leather leather wipes for maintenance clean.

Another vote for Dr Leather - been keeping my oyster seats looking great for nearly 4 years...

For frequent use on lightly soiled leather, I use Gliptone Liquid Leather:

But for more stubborn marks and dye-transfer that the above struggles with, I use the Leathermaster cleaner.

I use Auto Finesse Leather Cleaner with a soft brush and recommend it. Any leather cleaner will do however. I would also recommend applying leather conditioner afterwards. I use Race Glaze Leather Balm or Gyeon Leather Coat.

I have the Dakota 'Oyster' Leather in my wagon and I use Zymol Leather Cleaner it's brilliant and works a charm on jeans transfer colouring. A little goes a long way and for about £10er from halfords it's easily got and a bit of a bargain smells good too.

Doctor Leather for my Coral Red seats, spray on and agitate with a soft leather cleaning brush and wipe of with a damp cloth, brings the matt finish back and does smell pretty good, although you'll have the smell on your hands for a while afterwards!

Got some Zymol today so will use that and see how it goes! Will take some before and after pics

When I use this on my seats I use Luke warm water to damped (not soak) a micro fibre cloth I then wipe over the seat I'm cleaning to lightly damp the surface.
I then take a second dry microfibre cloth I spray the zymol on and then work that over the seat to clean.

I then take and re dampen the first microfibre cloth to pass over to remove the zymol soaping.

A third dry microfibre is then use to dry off and it's done.

Hope this helps.

I got myself some of this the other week, and the dye block! Yes, it sticks to your hands more than the seats!

It really does! Can smell it quite easily for the rest of the day after you use it, even after a couple of washes!

Just out of curiosity what's a dye block??

Dr Leather Dye Block- allegedly prevents dye transfer from jeans, etc, onto light coloured leather....such as my oyster interior.

I've tried 2 of supposedly the best products from GTechniq and Leathermaster so far - neither of which have worked, so I thought I'd try the Dr Leather one in a last ditch attempt to not have to clean my seats every fortnight.
