So I just traded someone for a pair of Orange leather seats (power/heated)

I am looking for some tips on how to bring them up to like new quality (if possible). I have used cleaning wipes, and the Meguiars cleaning lotion and foam. Nothing really seems to work, so I was curious if you guys had any suggestions that will help get that "black" stain off of the seats. I know its just from being sat in and whatnot, but I would like to try and remove it.

Thanks in advance

i have cleaned leather with goo gone .

the creases were the hardest . but got the black spots out ..

but you have to be carefull not to leave it on too long or it will start to lift the leather as well ..

what i would do .. is:
moisten all the stains with something like armor all And let it sit ..to soften up the dirt ..

once you can move the dirt around a lil with your finger .. take a damp rag.

with a damp rag .. apply goo gone to the damp rag .and scrub the dirt off

then imediately take a second damp rag to wipe off excess goo gone ..

just my 2 cents..

I like to use a mild degreaser, brush or rag, and leather conditioner/cleaner when I clean leather.

i tend to stay away with any type of degreasers on the burnt orange. It actually takes out the orange out of it. I have had good luck with my Lexol two step cleaner. One is a cleaner, one is a conditioner. I've tried a few on my burnt orange, and this is the only one that cleans the leather, stitching, etc on it.

I use Zaino 2 step cleaner and conditioner. It works pretty well.

damp microfiber towel + bar soap (like dial) (rub the bar soap on to the towel and wipe/rub your seats), then leather conditioner, and then top it with whatever product you like that gives it the clean finish.

finally someone with the same problem as me

People thought i was crazy when i was telling them my Orange seats have a black tint to them.

I used the meguiers leather cleaner and it didnt help much.

VoBoy- u have bar soap on ur seats an it works good?

Spinneybeck and Leatherique are also really good leather conditioners and cleaners. They even have special dye matched cleaners and colors in case your seats look worn out, cracked, etc.

where do you acquire these ?

Justin07Z

Woolite liquid laundry detergent mixed 1:10 (1 part woolite, 10 parts water). Mist the leather, then use a soft brush to lather it up and wipe dry with a terry towel. Then apply your fav leather conditioner (I like pb's natural look, or for OTC, Turlte Wax leather cleaner/conditioner).

Note: I used to detail professionally, and the above works, and works well.

Will this remove the black stain he mentioned? I have the same black stain... previous owner wore a belt that he must have had some black crap on. I'd love to get it off my seat.
