I just tried some Meguirs leather Foam the other day.
its ok, didn't do that much though IMO. I covered the seats with it, let it soak for a minute or two then rubbed it in/off. It cleaned it up a bit, but not quite as much as i was expecting. but you have to air your car out afterwards..its very stinky (chemical smell). But I did it for protection aswell.

Don't be too fussy. Remember, it's not real leather, just synthetic stuff so you need not be too careful. Real leather on something like a Benz is a $5k option. Thats when you have to be careful!

I was going to buy some of that leather foam Polyal.. Not in such a hurry now.
I have some Mothers leather conditioner, gets the leather looking quite good AFTER it's cleaned (soft, smooth). (contains lanolin as most leather conditioners do) I just don't have anything to clean the leather first... If you slack off on removal of the above mentioned product the leather becomes very slippery. :p |
