Started doing my seats. Did driver side yesterday and it did pick up black in several (not all) areas. Thread brightened a little but not as much as I was hoping and pictures it looks no different. At least I know its properly clean!
EDIT: I stand corrected. It would appear I was to hasty. The thread probably was still wet maybe when I created my opinion. I have not done the passenger seat and there is a difference in the thread color for sure. Excellent process and easy to do!

Reason: Correction of information.
SW17LS, thank you for the follow up. Understand possible issues with using a digresser however, was curious what type was being referenced in REPLY #11.
What are the negatives with using Leather Honey?
Understood! Due to the urethane coating on top of the leather, prevents leather conditioners penetrating the leather.
I'll just use a gentle water based leather cleaner. I've been made aware to try Adams Leather & Interior cleaner as well as Poorboys Natural Look cleaner;

Will give Woolite a tray. I've seem posts elsewhere that stated Woolite is as mild as it gets and Lexus specifically recommends using a wool safe detergent (20:1 dilution) in their owner`s manual.
Additional comment regarding Woolite; Woolite® has a number of issues that do not lend to long term quality care of interior car parts and components. Using a detergent that is meant to be flush rinsed (i.e. rinsed until it runs clear) in a situation were this is not possible, is not recommended as when it dries it will attract dirt and contribute to re-soiling. Household detergent soaps tend to be formulated with a sodium sulphate to enable foaming, this salt content may not be safe to use on leather upholstery, as this can compromise pigmented leather and / or its polyurethane covering.

Like I said in my post, I've been using Woolite for many years on my Lexus cars and haven't seen any ill affects of Woolite.
Is the Ultrasuede material similar to the material used for headliner and A pillar? I use FOLEX Instant Carpet Spot Remover to remove dirt etc. from that material.

I suspect the Ultrasuede may be more expensive since it needs to hold up to a body moving around on it. Both are still cloth materials though.
