Tan leather cleaning

Satalite · 03-12-2015, 06:30 PM

I'm noticing my blue jeans have been transferring "blue" onto the leather over the last year or so.

Any way to clean this up without hurting the leather?

magic eraser (M.R net) with hot water or a light cleaner! best way i've found!

I use the Leather Master products. Strong or Dye transfer cleaner does wonders.

Gliptone if you have the time to do it properly otherwise conditioning leather wipes from furniture stores.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I went with leather honey cleaner and conditioner. Worked like magic.

I don't really understand leather "conditioner" for cars. Is the leather not coated? Would that not damage the coating?

That is a good question. I have been using Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Wonder if I should stop with the conditioner at least.

There are so many different views on this topic, I don't know WTF to believe anymore.

And I thought oil was confusing.

Guess you want a spray liquid conditioner and not a cream so it will get through the coating?!?!?

Thanks for the link. I feel better now and glad I use a liquid conditioner. Probably need to let it sit longer before wiping off though.

Yeah, car care is even more confusing then oil, but probably a less emotional topic.
