Default Need Really Strong Leather Cleaner

Hi, I just got a new Lexus and the leather is pretty dirty. It still feels pretty strong and in good condition, just really dirty. I'm not too worried about the shine as I have a good conditioner and stuff for that.

I'm just concerned with getting it clean. The Armor All leather cleaner I"m using now just isn't cutting it. Any suggestions?

Not sure what my detailer uses, but it's been getting dirt spots out routinely. I'll ask around. Why not try searching out a detailer and save yourself some time. Personally, I'm not the diy type.

Whatever you use, remember that the leather is coated and once you abrade that coating you won't be able to fix the color and texture difference. I'd try using Woolite diluted 1:6 with warm water and use a foam sponge to work up the lather. Wipe dry with a soft cotton towel and apply a quality conditioner after cleaning.

The best I have used are the Z-9 and Z-10 products from Zaino. The are effective cleaners and the smell great since they use real leather oil.

Wow, Lee. You've really been liking Zaino products as of late, eh?

You still own a big share of Pinnacle stock though, don't you?
