Perforated Leather Seats

[Somedevil]

My Solara has perforated leather seats with tiny pores and I need some advice on dealing with these.

I tried Megs Leather Wipes, but they left my seats slippery and glossy which I don't like. Not a slam on the product, just a personal preference.

Can anyone recommend a cleaner/protectant that won't clog up the pores? And which will leae a matte finish? And if the pores do get clogged, can they be vacuumed clean, or would I be stuck?

I read reviews of Einzsett's Leatherpfledge and was thinking of trying that as I've been very happy with their products, but I wanted to ask for some input here first.

Thanks!

You can get the Turtle Wax leather conditioner (the spray version). Nice light scent, subtle sheen and since it is a thin liquid, no clogged holes.

Mine are perforated as well, so come on guys, what do you recommend? I've had no luck with Meguiar's(I believe gold class) I tried poking them free, but wouldn't budge.

Did you even read the post above yours? Don't let the brand fool you, it is top notch stuff.

It looks like I scrolled past it Scott. Conditioner? Do they have a cleaner? Or does this have some cleaning power?

I use Woolite and water (mixed 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite) to clean the leather. The TW leather conditioner has some cleaning power but it is pretty light.

Thank you Scott, I'll give it a try...and file away the Woolite & water recipe for future use!

JRocc, I checked out Turtle Wax' web site, and they sell a Leather Cleaner and Conditioner in a spray so I figure this is the product Scott said had light cleaning power.

Don't file it away to far .. Once I started using the Woolite mix everyday I find more uses.

a) Cleaning leather
b) Spritzed lightly on a MF is great for cruddy dash boards .. sucks the dust right out
c) Sprayed on a carpet scuff/stain and aggitated with a clean terry towel pulls out a lot of stains.
d) Spritzed on a MF will spot clean headliner marks.
e) A good shot on an old MF is great for cleaning door/trunk edges
f) Spritzed on a MF .. great on door panels and arounf window controls and in the cup where the door handle is. Also door pockets.

etc etc.
