Silverstone - Cleaning Leather
Hey all,
I'm pretty diligent about keeping my cars clean, the outside gets washed at least once a week and I vacuum it every other time or so (not much goes on inside the car). I have done a good clean of the leather once but I'm noticing more and more taint on the driver's silverstone and center console where my arm rests. Does anyone have a good trick to restore it? Car is less than a year old and other than the drivers seat it looks brand new in and out. I had it on an F10 M5 but used to be in a suit every day before Covid so it wasn't that bad. I won't be getting it again as pretty as it is, but wearing mostly dress jeans post Covid has definitely stained the leather. Any magic potion/cleaner/advice would be awesome! |

Spray sunscreen on the smudges/stains, wait one minute then wipe off with a microfiber.

I'd use the colourlock leather kit with the cleaner and then apply leather shield. They're German and IMO some of the best auto leather experts around. |

Does that actually work??? I've had sunscreen stain my black leather before so would never think of using it for cleaning...

Works for me! This is my third Silverstone ride I've used this on.
