View Full Version : Recommendations for light/quick/occasional spot cleaning of black leather

I searched the forum and mostly found information on `hardcore` cleaning or conditioners. I`m looking more for a quick thing that I`d use occasionally to clean up small spills (usually milk), etc. from my 2-year-old... We don`t allow eating/drinking in the car, but sometimes that just doesn`t work out :) We haven`t had anything bad (yet), but occasionally something will splatter out of a `no-spill` cup.



Anyways, I already have Meguiar`s Quik Interior Detailer (http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+G13616) that I was going to use for the occasional wipe down of my dash, and it does say it can be used on leather, but I`m a bit concerned using such an `AIO` type product on my new, black (Audi), leather seats...



I tested a small spot using just water and a microfiber and it seemed to work fine (removed a small spot of milk that was 1 day old and didn`t discolor the leather at all). So I could always just stick with this route unless anyone has a reason not to.



Thanks for any thoughts!

2oz ONR per 32oz water in a spray bottle is what I use for quick wipe downs of the interior. For really dirty interiors I use DP Total Interior Cleaner, that stuff is crazy strong, but I imagine any good APC would do the same thing for cheaper.

If the QID works for you, there is no reason to go with anything else. If you want to step it up a bit and get some protection too, Optimum Leather care works great and dries matte so you don`t get that tacky armor-all leather look.
