First car with leather seats. I have the light brown interior. Driver's seat is starting to become stained from blue denim. What is best to use to clean the seats without damaging / drying them out etc?

Thanks!

I really like the cleaner and conditioner from Zaino. It smells nice and works really well. I had my previous car for just over 10 years, and the leather was in near mint condition. Others I know have had good experience with the leather cleaner from Lexol.

Just make sure whatever product you pick that it is not silicone based, the general consensus from leather repair and care professionals (at least that I've been exposed to) say it will accelerate drying and cracking.

Buy these two products.



The brush makes all the difference. My wifes Cadillac has Platinum interior which is very light, and this takes blue denim stains out. That honey leather company also makes a conditioner as well that I recommend.

I have been using einszett Lederpflege Leather Care (now called "nextzett") on the Pistachio Beige Interior leather seats in our Q5 to remove the denim blue and other stains. This cleaner is very good for the leather. I have also used Griott's Interior Cleaner to clean the leather with goods results.

I would recommend Autoglym cleaner and treatment.Been using for a long time > 20 yrs.British.Here in Canada it's sold through Canadian Tire so in the US it must be available through O'reilly's Napa etc.Good stuff not too $$

Lexol cleaner and then conditioner for me--last several Audi's + other brands w/ leather.

+1 on Lexol. Maybe there are newer better things, but it has been keeping equestrian tack and saddles like new for over fifty years. At affordable prices.

Hi All,
didn’t want to start a new thread. Not even sure if it’s doing it now. But I noticed most of the cleaners mentioned are used on tan/brown leather. What has everyone used in black leather? I’ve used a few products that worked great on my tan leather but completely discolored my black leather (diff cars) and left a white residue. What has everyone found to work best? Thanks!

Black leather in my Q5. Zaino has worked well over the last 5+ years of ownership. Really like the smell, closest thing you’ll get to a new car without having to buy one!
