I just bought a 95 M5. It is cosmos black with vanilla interior. It`s got some old caked up dirt and grime. What is the best product to use on this?
Thanks

Locally you can get Megs Leather Cleaner. You can also buy Zymol locally.

Cool, what about 303? I have some zaino cleaner. I`ll try that first. Then if NG I`ll go to woolite. Will 303 hurt the leather?
Thanks.

Bruce, if youre talking about 303 Protectant, its a vinyl protectant and not a leather cleaner. It will only leave a nice rich matte layer of dressing over the dirt. .
No, I was referring to 303 cleanser.

Water and Woolite. Even Lexus is now recommending using water and a `wool-safe` detergent in their owner`s manuals.

When I first got the red `75 Jag, its light-beige leather seats were disgustingly filthy/grimy. Hit `em with Zaino`s leather cleaner and a gentle-bristled brush, wiped off with cotton towel, and I could not believe the transformation. It did a great job. (Naturally, I then followed with Z`s LIAB, and was thrilled.) Maybe there are also other equally-effective treatments out there (like the Woolite that Scottwax recommends), but this is the only one I`ve tried, and I was happy with it.

Although its not available anymore, the Sonax Interior Cleaner is fantastic. I did a clients leather seats who`s kids marked up with a black Bic pen, and it came off without any problem as well as dirt and grime.

So does Infiniti now "Water and a 5% natureal detergent for wool" thats fancy for saying Woolite 5:1.

Is that 6 parts Woolite to one part water??? I got a nice spray bottle today and was going to give this a try.

Actually, 5% would be a fancy way to say 20:1. ;)
My experience though is that anything less than 10:1 is not strong enough and at 6:1, it cleans even the nastiest of leather.
