soft leather seat

[softoa]

Hi,
Used Turtle wax leather cleaner/ conditioner today. Will purchase a better cleaner--but---do you use a brush in a circular manner on leather seats, instead of just a mf towel---will that help? I did a Oldsmobile Aurora leather seats today car is 9 years old--I tested the Blackfire Interior protectant for leather too, but could not use it---it lightened the grey leather seat to a silver spot!! Cannot use that for that car anyway for the seats. My main question is: do you use a brush instead of a towel to clean the seats? thanks, softoa

Leather should be routinely cleaned using a PH-balanced, non alkaline type cleaner. Spray the cleaner to a wet applicator pad and apply to one area at a time. Gently! agitate the surface with a leather cleaning brush, this helps removes grime and will not harm the leather. Use a clean, damp sponge/pad/microfiber towel to rise the leather and use a clean towel to dry it. Don`t forget that leather requires replacement of it`s natural oils over time. If these oils are not replaced, then the leather will dry out, deteriorate and /or crack. Once every month or maybe twice a month, use a leather conditioner to restore those natural oils and keep the leather soft and supple. Products like Leatherique, Blackfire High UV Leather conditional, Autoglym Leather Cream care, Optimum Leather Protectant and 1Z einszett Leather Care will do the job in maintain the leather over the course of time.

Yes, I use a brush for cleaning leather. I have a soft nylon brush for working up a little sudsing action before wiping dry with a MF.
