Seriously gross. What did you use for cleaning? And how did you manage such a distinct 50/50 line? :)

Ha they really were. I didn`t realize how bad they were until the dirt started coming off.

Seriously gross. What did you use for cleaning? And how did you manage such a distinct 50/50 line? :)

I used a dilution of Woolite ~15:1, Leatherique Pristine Clean, and a semi-stiff brush. The woolite did the really heavy cleaning though, and one thing I found that really helps is to work small areas at a time, about 4 sections just for the bottom part of the seat.

The 50/50 I just taped off the seat with the normal painters tape, quite easy actually :)

Thanks for the questions/comments guys!
