i suck at cleaning the leather... any tips?

 

what's 303?

 

Thanks Janik. I use 303 Aerospace to clean the leather and Lexol or Zaino Z10 for conditioning.

If you want to swap it up a bit, i use that Poorboys Leather Stuff and it does a pretty good job for the price.

 

So how long does it last on your interior?

 

No idea but best to reapply every month. The stuff is easy to apply; spray on, wipe off. It doesn't have a nice smell though like some of the other products out there.

 

Don't use a magic cleaner eraser .

Our seats are not difficult to clean. If they are dirty use a woolite solution or an APC (like Scrooge said; a porportion like 10:1) and follow up with a steam cleaner with a MF towel over it. This is not necessary but it speeds up the process and gets the dirt out alot quicker. Follow up with a plastic protectant like 303 Aerospace. Only do this if your seats still have the plastic coating on them; some of my driver side was destroyed by said magic eraser so I use Lexol treatement on those sections.

 

I like cleaning the inside as much as I do the outside...

Most of the time I just use damp MF followed by 303 for protection. I'll use Zaino's leather conditioner from time to time, I don't think it actually conditions, but I like the smell. Any tough dirt I'll use 10:1 Woolite again followed up with 303.

Don't forget about the tools needed for inside. Can't live without my shopvac, for vacuuming and even the blower when needed. Then I have a few brushes and crevice tools to get the small spaces and avoid buildup.

 

used the 303 today. Wow, yea i really like that stuff.

 

303 is pretty good!

i also like cleaning my interior. recently ordered a vac n blo at amazon and cant wait to try it. lol!

i also use a little bit of woolite mixed in water to clean the leather. I think it works coz it got rid of some black stuff on my leather(wheat). After that i use a leather conditioner and 303

does a steamer helps a lot w/ cleaning the interior???? can you guys some links what steamer you guys use?

 

Does anyone else use Mother's Leather Conditioner? I didn't realize our seats were coated, so its probably not doing anything substantial. But, I do like the smell of it, and it leaves no grease residue whatsoever...

 

I've never used a steamer. I use my wet/dry shop vac to do any interior shampooing and such.

 

just to follow up!

i used the vac n blo and its very handy. really gets to those hard to reach places! Also the blower really helps w/ engine detailing! blows excess water in the engine bay. no need to wait to dry!

I just wish it has wheels so it wont be scratched up while on the floor and this sucker get hot when you use it non stop!


also i already have Leatherique rejuvenator oil and george said i can use it first then the woolite solution then 303 AP.

 

I am completely **** about the interior of my car. More than an obsession really.
I only use my drivers mat on dry days, and I flip both over during any bad weather.

I use 1Z cockpit premium and vinyl/rubber protectant for the dash and interior trim and leather conditioner for the upholstery. They can be found HERE
I use regular glass cleaner for the windows.

I vacuum with my craftsman wet/dry vac, and any spots stains on the carpets I use the bissell spotbot cleaning machine.
All in all, I have to say I have had great success with the products I use.

These are some pics I took for the 5th anniversary of the car. Turned 5 on Oct. 31st.
