Well I did my great grandfather's interior today cadillac STS today.. it hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and since he passed, they might be selling it. It has off white leather interior, with tan carpeting. i only have before pics because i had borrowed the camera and it ran out of memory.. i'm going back tomorrow so i'll get afters..

First I scrubbed on them with a damp microfiber.

Then I hit it with a soft brush and some Zaino Leather Cleaner

Followed with some Zaino Leather Conditioner

It still didn't come completely clean.. There was also a nasty stain in the carpet that I scrubbed the sh!t out of and it wouldn't come up... its greatly reduced, almost to not being able to see it, but I could still notice it some.

I used Oil Eaters APC diluted 1:3 parts water..then i tried spot reducing with Turtle Wax Foaming Stain Remover... again, reduced but not gone..

What do you guys use on really dirt leather? It just didn't seem like the soiled leather would come really clean, and like the leather on the shifter was rubbed off for lack of maintenance What about to clean the nasty carpet stains? I dont have access to an extractor so something i could do by hand.. Seriously though, i did these carpets three times each and i can still some of the stain.
 
Your images don't work unless you copy & paste them into the browser.. to save future ppl visiting this thread some time, I decided to upload your pictures to another host.

I haven't dealt w/ anything like this. Although I have heard Folex works well on stains.
 
thanks for helping out with the pics.. it's weird, i went to my other computer, went on autopia, didn't log into anything. opened the thread the pics were working.. weird but thank you.. did you by chance see the other pic?
