How do I get this stuff off my seats?

See this thread, in the detailing thread.


Caused by Meg's Rich Leather Wipes: it's like an oily film over the seats. Paper towles don't work, neither do damp cloths. It's been two days, not dry yet.

Leather wipes? What were you thinking?
You need Spinneybeck

Or lexol it my friend. I just love the stuff. Retains that new car leather smell as well.

for Spinneybeck.

To remove that stuff from your leather, first, I'd try a damp microfiber cloth. If that doesn't work, I'd try Woolite mixed ~ 40/60 with water in a spray bottle, rinsed with water and wiped off with damp microfiber cloth, followed by Spinneybeck or Zaino's Z9 Leather Cleaner and Z10 Leather in a Bottle. You could also try dish washing liquid, mixed ~ 1:10 with water in a spray bottle, followed by leather cleaner/conditioner.

Thanks. I'm going to see if it will dry out and fade away first.
I don't need a fancy leather cleaner, just one that works. The one I use for the X5, "Blue Magic" works great. I already wrote a complaint to Meguiar's.

Just another 2 cents... I would clean/remove that product instead of waiting to see what happens. You got some excellent advice above. Good luck!

I use the BMW leather cleaner and conditioner to good results. You could also try the stuff from Zymol, both the cleaner and conditioner (seeing as how you need to clean off that greasy residue first). My X3 shows no wear at all on the leather even on the driver's side, and I'm damn proud of that after 42,800 miles cool:

I tried scrubbing it off with both a paper towel and MF Cloth, I don't know if they do anything. I don't think this stuff will hurt it, just make it look oily or greasy for awhile.
I'll pick up the BMW brand leather conditioner and cleaner when I bring it in for the transmission reprogram.
