Leather cleaners?? Soo many choices. Searchiong for the best strict leather "cleaner"
I've been looking at Leather Master's products:
http://www.autogeek.net/leather-mast...FQjf4AodBxJrSA I don't know what kind of cleaner I need....or what Kit/supplies I need but it's time to get serious about my light grey leather care. I had a dark brown leather belt stain my seats and I can't get it out with OTC leather care stuff. Here's the scoop: -Facts and issues that have occrued recently; 1.) stupid dark brown leather a&f belt stained my seats over the weekend. My OTC armour all leather care gel didn't work no matter how many times appled and no matter how much scrubbing was done. **It leaves me in the position to GO and get the Leather Master Kits. Insight/Advice needed! 2.) My seats have no leather wear or creasing (9k miles) 3.) A bird dropping hit my driver' seat soulder area when I had the top down and it automatically stained the seat. Soaking small blobs of OTC cheap armour all leahter care for over 2 weeks removed this stain. I kept repeating and leaving it on over night or for a few days before buffing it out. This worked for me and all I had to spend was the $6 for the leather care gel. I hope to learn more and get a good leather cleaning product that keeps the light grey color just that "Light" grey in color!!

I'm not the best person to answer this question however I recently purchased the BMW Leather Cleaner which is applied in a circular motion with a sponge and I was surprised with how much dirt it lifted from the leather. It's worth giving a try considering the price.

Hi,
This is what I use. Works well and keeps the matte look http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/pr...leather_system I have never had challenging stains on my seats, but like BMW86 have been surprised at how much crap comes of clean looking seats! Paul |

Yes! guys...the brush is what I was looking for! I always see ppl using them in their full leather care/interior detail jobs.
Yeah, Leather Master products are what I thought they are...something worthy enough to get the job done right on my car.

I did some research and decided on leather masters, the products to get are strong cleaner, leather protector and perhaps also leather vital for down the track or problem areas that tear.
I also keep ink away in the car just incase and a dye remover. I have just tested out the protector on the headrest as it doesnt smell very nice, I hope the smell goes away when it dries up.

I am obsessed about keeping the leather in my cars as it was new (I hate when it shines) and so far I have been happy with Lexol (you find it in any Autozone)

I use Prestine Clean to clean my leather with a leather brush. I bought it after hearing all the accolades on the net about it but to be honest it doesn't really blow me away. I actually like the Griot's Garage Leather Care that I have better, it seems to clean better and protect all at the same time. Smells great too.
