Best leather conditioner & cleaner is Leatherique. I swear by this stuff. Used it for the last 7 or 8 years. Lately I use it also for the leather couches. Excellent results. Guys have also OEM leather color & filler.

That stuff is more suited to bring back neglected leather, if you clean/ treat once of twice a year Lexol is the stuff. This has been pointed out on several detail forums, here's one...............

why don't you pm our sponsor Phil @ Detailers Domain? He may be able to recommend some products that would help.

Regardless, your seats do look like they have some built up grime on them, I would say you definitely need to do a throrough cleaning of the seats before you put conditioner on them.

I use this to clean my leather and all interior surfaces first, before putting on my conditioner.
(I would apply this and thoroughly wipe down with a MF towel to get all grime off, you might even need a soft bristled brush to really agitate the leather, I say SOFT britstles because the protective layer of the leather is very delicate!)

Followed by this to protect and condition:

Most of the guys cleaning their cars like to use a one step product for their seats I've noticed, and you just won't get the results you will get from using a dedicated step to a cleaning product, before applying your conditioner. The one step products are too gentle.

Hell, that "bleach mark" might not even be discoloration, it might be the actual color of your seat since maybe his towel had a strong enough cleaner to cut through all the grime!

Hey the first link you posted is a plastic cleaner, is that what you used for your leather? http://www.detailersdomain.com/1Z-ei...ner_p_106.html

Yes, I use 1Z Einzsett Deep Plastic Cleaner as a leather surface cleaner before I apply the Lederpledge (conditioner).

If you don't clean the surface first the conditioner will not look as good.


Since leather seats all have a plastic coating on top of the seat (think of it as a clearcoat for the hide), the Deep Plastic cleaner works great on them to clean them up, just spray on and wipe with a microfiber towel.


I also use Deep Plastic cleaner to wipe down my dash, door panels, etc, before applying Cockpit Premium as a protectant for the vinyl.
