Stubborn Leather Seats

[screeby]

Anyone have a "go to" leather cleaner? I`ve tried a couple OTC cleaners as well as diluted Woolite with little luck. I`ve had the best luck with the diluted Woolite and a toothbrush. I have no pictures but it is grey leather, 2001 Ford and it hasn`t been cleaned properly in at least 5 years. Once I get them cleaned I will be back with what to put on them when I`m done to protect what little is left.`

<span style="font-size:14px;">How to clean & protect the interior of a dirty Ferrari w/ High Definition Products

<span style="font-size:14px;">As I read through that, serious thoughts rolled through my head about HD Total. I figured if anyone gave a good review of that product I would have to buy it and try it.

<span style="font-size:14px;">The Protect is probably something I should follow up with on the leather tho then? How is the gloss and slickness it leaves behind. I will have to get something on my wife`s leather seats soon and if she slides around on the seat after I put it on, I will never hear the end of it.`

Applying a protectant is a matter of personal choice and in my opinion varies based on the application and vehicle. I helped with the development of HD Dress actually and gave Tunch Goren my idea of what a perfect interior protectant would be like and he actually listened and agreed. It mainly needed to be non-greasy, not shiny, no harsh components (cosmetic grade) but leave the surface feeling soft and supple without attracting resoiling. After many months of trial and error, it finally`metamorphasized into HD Protect. If that`s what you`re looking for in a protectant then this is the perfect one for you! Keep in mind that the updated version is totally different then the initial one used on that Ferrari.`

One of my favorite ways to clean filthy leather is a super soft flagged brush on GG 3" da, use a heavy apc like griots interior cleaner and spray onto brush, not directly on leather which can cause spotting.
