Black Scuff Marks?

Hey,

I got a question for you guys. I have been using Eagle 1 Leather seat Conditioner for a while but I am not sure if it doing anything. My seats are pretty much the same they are and don't look any cleaner. So this is what I did this weekend:

Picked up some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers Extra Stength (from a suggestion on another thread) and gave it to my Wheat Leather interior and I still didn't see much of a difference. All that ended up was the stupid bits of the eraser stuck in the creases of my seats... Any product you guys recommend to clean my seats? My seats are not really dirty, not black or anything, just doesn't look new.

Also I got a black scuff on my driver seat. I have tried EVERYTHING to get it out. I used that Eraser to take it out, and it didn't do anything. I have sprayed it with the Eagle 1 Leather Seat Cleaner/Conditioner and it is still there. Not sure what steps I need to take next to get it out.

Will take pictures for you guys tommorow.

Zaino has some of the best leather cleaner I've ever used. Get their "Leather in a bottle" for the best smelling conditioner too. I really like the cleaner though because even though it doesn't feel abrasive so I'm comfortable using it on my leather, it works really well on scuffs and marks. I have the stone interior which seems to be getting marks on it all the time and a few quick squirts of it and they are gone.

Thnx for the response. I have basically exhausted all other options to get that stain out. I dried out the seats by using the Mr. Clean brush so I had to condition the seat again but will place an order for that product and see how it fares.

Try some water and "magic eraser" sponge first. They work quite well at removing leather scuffs and some minor scratches on plastic

Hey, I used warm water with the eraser but it is the pink extra stength crap. It discolored my seat a bit where I scrubbed hard, they turned a different shade of wheat color crap, and was turning a bit hard. I applied the Eagle 1 Conditioner all over it, and it got back to the same color. The Mr. Clean brush also took forever to take out a scuff from the back panel, around 20 minutes and half the brush disintegrating into my seats, haha. I tried to take out the scuffs in the back plastic, but as u can see from the pics, i was unsucessful.

Oh i didnt keep wetting it. I just wiped the eraser bits with my towel, and kept going and wiped away the dirty water that poured out. Will try on those plastic scuffs when I have time. Well I did wash my car today, so best to post some pics of that, haha.
