Default Leather Cleaner Recommendations

Hey all- I've been trying to clean, and then condition the leather seats. They are the tan ones, and within the creases there is dirt that won't come off with either mothers or Maguires cleaner. Any tips, or brands to go with? Thanks

Default Try Mr Clean Magic Eraser

I am not sure anything will totally clean creases but this will come as close as anything.

Default I have heard the Mr. Clean magic erasers and scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner work very well

actually picked up some of the erasers the other day but have not had a chance to test them on the seats yet.

Default BE VERY VERY CAREFUL...IF YOU SCRUB TOO HARD IT WILL STRIP THE FINISH!!!!!!

trust me, i know...test it in an inconspicuous area first...but YES, it does work...however it can be dangerous to your leather

Default Third - I cleaned my door cards (platinum) first using Armorall Cleaner wipes followed by Lexol

cleaner and conditioner. They came out beautifully. I need to do my seats and will likely follow the same sequence.
