Cleaning Light Colored Leather

[chris91]

Okay so my 35th Anniversary Edition has the Interior with the Silver down the middle of the seats. The previous owners were not too clean and of course the leather has seen better days. No rips or anything major, just dingy looking. Anyone have a tried and true product to clean these up to their former glory? I've used quite a few different products to no avail. They come clean but not CLEAN. Here is a pic of what the seats should look like, I'm kinda doubting I can get them this clean but I figured I'd ask and possibly find the Holy Grail of products.

I would say a de-greaser but that would most likely dry them out bad!! That's a tough one though...

CG has a leather cleaner and conditioner. It works pissa.

Try using a degreaser diluted down and scrubbing the seats with a semi abrasive brush, then use a good leather conditioner such as pinnacle, wolfgang, or even CG's stuff, anything to help the seats from drying out from the degreaser.

Yeah I was thinking about trying that. I have Pinnacle's Conditioner already. Dunno how I feel about using a brush on them though. They are smooth like the rest of the seat is. Dont want to go roughing them up or anything. Or are you talking like a Toothbrush type of brush?

I wouldn't use a degreaser at all as it may stain the leather get a ph neutral cleaner and test it in a inconspicuous area.

i have a swissvax leather brush that i use along with CG leather cleaner, seems to work pretty good.

Im talking about a general cleaning brush, one you'd find at a grocery store/ auto parts store. That leather wont rough up like you'd think from cleaning it, its pretty durable you just have to use that conditioner afterwards to keep it nice and soft.

That thing works perfectly, I have a boars hair brush thats very similar and it works like a charm

I recently picked up a brush used for buffing off shoe polish this works awesome.
