Default Just used Leatherique Products

Just cleaned my tan leather on my 98 GS400. I started Fri evening and soaked the leather using the Rejuvenator oil. A little messy so be careful. After that due to cooler weather I cranked up the heat on a ceramic heater & closed the windows and let er get nice and toasty for about 30 hrs. Cleaned off with Pristine cleaner and voila. Clean seats.

Stuff worked good. The longer you let it sit the better it does at bringing the dirt up to the surface. I recommend it!

Nice to see you're doing it on a 6-yr old car I've read through most of the Leatherique-related threads, and everyone has mentioned that they're the best stuff to really clean the dirt off of the leather seats. Do the seats feel softer and more supple when you sit down on them too?

I wish I could try out Leatherique; I don't have a garage...

Yup! My buttocks is really appreciating my efforts. One things for sure you really can notice the difference on a tan interior. I'll give it the Rogers & Eberts

How about borrowing some warehouse space?

I also have tan leather interior. I'll probably give Leatherique a try next spring/summer

One method that works well in cold weather is to use a black plastic trash bag over the seats after you've put the rejuvinator oil on. This will allow you to drive the car while it soaks in for a couple days. Each time you drive the car your heat will be on and your body temp will help with the driver seat to help it soak in more. Try to park in the sun so the heat will build up underneath the black plastic.

Just put a space heater in your car and keep it on whatever temp it takes to heat up the inside of the car to 100-120 degrees and that leatherique will soak right in!
