    Default Leather Treatment

    Hey, just got new car and it has black leather!!

    There are some marks and looks a bit dirty!!Want to do a full leather treatment on the car but have checked car care products but not sure which ones to buy...

    what i am looking for is
    1. Something that will clean the leather i.e get out scuff marks or anything stuck to the leather
    2. Something that will moisten/condition the leather really well
    3. A product that puts a protective coating on the leather...if one exists.

    Also i have these little holes in the leather (from factory) and they have got dust dirt/dust or something in them...anyway to get them out?

    Thanks

    anything meguires you can trust , i purchased somthing from super cheap the other day it was a meguires interior cleaner for dash, leather and so on and it was great, if you wana go cheap with nasty stains id go with some degreaser and water mix on a towel with a good scrub everything comes up a treat even try it on ur carpet and youll c a huge difference

    I've been using the Duragloss leather system for a while now, and I'm very happy with the results - the leather comes up as practically new.

    Also, does anyone know if it is possible to maybe paint leather parts of the interior instead of replacing the full part? or is this a stupid Q?

    sure can mate, we get someone in at work to pain leather blemishes (ball point pens in particular because their impossible to get out)

    i know it can be done, i dont know who does them though.

    I've used that same Duragloss stuff on my steering wheel with great results. The cleaner takes off all the grime and dirt, then put a small amount of conditioner on and make sure you wipe off the excess. As long as you don't go overboard it shouldn't be slippery.
