Deep cleaning my leather? - 10/14/2007 7:14:47 PM    HuYnHness Posts: 557 Joined: 8/16/2006 Status: offline i was wondering if there was such a product that can help me with this. i realy like the lether in my car but i hate that its tan. its so dirty. the other day i left a cup on my center armrest and it condensated and when i wiped up the water i noticed it was lighter/cleaner. because doing so for my entire interior might be really impratical, i was wondering if there was a cleaner that can do so. _____________________________ Black 2004 Accord EX 4dr AT 4 cyl.

It must be dressed after with a product specific to leather to keep it soft and flexible. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to HuYnHness) Post #: 6

RE: Deep cleaning my leather? - 12/16/2007 9:44:19 AM    davehruner   Posts: 1 Joined: 12/16/2007 Status: offline I use damp (w/ water) microfiber towels and scrub lightly and it brightens and cleans the leather. I then let the seats dry completly and then use Lexol leather conditioner. I'm a real believer in microfiber towels. I'm sure like many of you have thought that microfiber really didn't make a difference but now I use them all the time. I also just use a damp microfiber towel to wipe down the interior and then a dry one to shine up the console and dash gauges. Dave   (in reply to HuYnHness) Post #: 12
