I'm not horribly bothered by it, but what are the cleaners that work to remove the denim stains? I read on a BMW forum that woolite works. What else?

I asked this same question a couple of months ago. Here's a link to the thread.

I know Target sells some leather wipes, and you can get leather master cleaning products from amazon that aren't that expensive.

Let us know what you find man.

We have Cardamom also.

I've used Lexol leather cleaner followed by leather conditioner. Minimal fuss and works well.

This has been discussed on here many times before, a few times by me, as my previous Q5 had the light grey interior. I tried so many different products to keep the seats clean, and Lexol worked great for thorough cleanings/conditionings maybe once a month or less, but that didn't solve the problem that after cleaning it only took two to three days before they looked like crap again. The only product I found that didn't leave a film, smelled ok, and was fast to use (less than a minute per seat) was Method Leather Love Wipes. They're environmentally friendly too, what more could one ask for?

The better all purpose cleaners will handle it. However, the Woolite (mixed 20:1) works pretty well. I keep a spray bottle mixed up at ratio to have on hand for all sorts of clean ups. Use a soft fingernail scrub brush, wipe dry with a clean white terry towel. That should handle it.

There are certainly many leather cleaners you could try. Leather Master is the OES for AUDI USA. Their stuff is water-based and tends to be very gentle, sometimes too much so.

When I was looking at new ML's at the Mercedes dealer a few months ago, the salesman suggested not picking a light coloured seat because he'd seen them stained easily. Apparently one weekend at a car show was all it took. Can't recall whether it was the standard seats (leather-looking-vinyl) or real leather.

If you wear polyester you wont have to worry about dye transfer. I knew I should have held on to those leisure suits.

I use a a microfibre cloth and warm water but just slightly damp. No clearners, works great.
