I don`t know that I would use an APC on leather. Do you not have access to a leather cleaner in Portugal? Soap and water is probably safer than an APC. I wouldn`t think an APC would be gentle enough and would cause problems. no?

:D :D :D



I have Lexol, Leatherique,.... but this one is really dirty. Lexol is not enough of a cleaner for it, and I don`t want to use Leatherique (a cheap job :( )

I bet they have Woolite in Portugal, could try that.



Tide liquid might work also.



APC+ for leather, I wouldn`t advise it.

The all propose cleaner I have is from Concept, a British brand, don`t know how it compares with Megs or other.



We don`t have Woolite here but I managed to get something that`s maybe similar to it.



Anyway, I`ve just came back from my garage and I tested it on a door (an APC mild solution). It cleaned both vinyl and leather surfaces well.

I then followed with that kind of Woolite solution and the cloth came out clean, so no dirt left. I followed with a damp cloth and a dry cloth. Let it dry, and all surfaces were clean and dry, no dull.

Then I condiitoned leather with Lexol and vinyl with 1Z.

Looks like new! I also polished/waxed coated fake wood w/ 1Z wax-polish. :xyxthumbs



Guess I`ll be doing the rest of the car this way!
