Hello!
Just got a nice tasty tan leather interior for the golf, but has a few marks and stuff on it. Whats the best to clean it without damaging it?
Thanks
Ollie

well, just a moist sponge with a mild soap on will do it, but if you want a product try the Gliptone leather cleaner and afterwards treat it with Gliptone leather conditioner

Wicked, yeah wanted to get the marks off it, then treat it to keep it good ideally :cool:

any more for any more?

you dont need anymore, i told you the best LOL
if you want to go the halford route then try the Autoglym stuff, but i would get the gliptone

just to ad to whats been said give them a good clean,then the most important bit is getting them soft and supple again, consider getting some bees wax to put on after you've conditioned them, bees wax will help keep them supple and repells water/moisture

Won't that make them all slippery, as its a wax? I also doubt it will do anything as once you have used the conditioner the leather wont absorb anything else. :wink:

This is Mr.Leather speaking!! :laugh: :wink:

I've used poorbys leather cleaner before. You can leave it, or buff it off. The sofa at home comes up a treat with it :grin:

Most leathers these days arent leather, its a plastic coating sprayed/ applied on a leather hide, so a sponge clean will suffice, that said a conditioner can still keep the plastic feeling supple

they will be slightly slippery after you done it but over time the leather will absorb the beeswax. beeswax is very good for leather as keeping it supple and it will out last any fancy creams you can buy from frauds etc.
