Perforated Leather Seats

**Somedevil** · 06-10-2004, 10:28 PM

My Solara has perforated leather seats with tiny pores and I need some advice on dealing with these.

I tried Megs Leather Wipes, but they left my seats slippery and glossy which I don`t like. Not a slam on the product, just a personal preference.

Can anyone recommend a cleaner/protectant that won`t clog up the pores? And which will leae a matte finish? And if the pores do get clogged, can they be vacuumed clean, or would I be stuck?

I read reviews of Einzsett`s Leatherpfledge and was thinking of trying that as I`ve been very happy with their products, but I wanted to ask for some input here first.

Thanks!

You can get the Turtle Wax leather conditioner (the spray version). Nice light scent, subtle sheen and since it is a thin liquid, no clogged holes.

Mine are perforated as well, so come on guys, what do you recommend? I`ve had no luck with Meguiar`s(I believe gold class) I tried poking them free, but wouldn`t budge.

Did you even read the post above yours? Don`t let the brand fool you, it is top notch stuff.

It looks like I scrolled past it Scott. Conditioner? Do they have a cleaner? Or does this have some cleaning power?

I use Woolite and water (mixed 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite) to clean the leather. The TW leather conditioner has some cleaning power but it is pretty light.

Thank you Scott, I`ll give it a try...and file away the Woolite & water recipe for future use!

JRocc, I checked out Turtle Wax` web site, and they sell a Leather Cleaner and Conditioner in a spray so I figure this is the product Scott said had light cleaning power.

Don`t file it away to far .. Once I started using the Woolite mix everyday I find more uses.

a) Cleaning leather

b) Spritzed lightly on a MF is great for cruddy dash boards .. sucks the dust right out

c) Sprayed on a carpet scuff/stain and aggitated with a clean terry towel pulls out a lot of stains.

d) Spritzed on a MF will spot clean headliner marks.

e) A good shot on an old MF is great for cleaning door/trunk edges

f) Spritzed on a MF .. great on door panels and arounf window controls and in the cup where the door handle is. Also door pockets.

etc etc.
