I hope someone can help - I know nothing about leather seats. My latest car (a Kluger) has them and I have now done 90,000K and the drivers
seat in particular is beginning to look a different colour. I looked at an old Lexus 400 tonight in a shopping centre which has the same coloured seats (much better quality also) but much older - they looked terrible - Is there any way I can rejuvenate leather? -
Mine are not dirty or misused - just changing colour.
Thanks

Hi Mate,
Someone like maguires would have something to clean leather with. Or maybe try Rays outdoors you might be able to use a similar polish that u would use on leather shoes???

The leather is dirty. That is why it has changed colour. My car has beige leather and needs a good clean every 6 months or so.
Before you buy any expensive potions, try some mild soap (velvet?) with a cloth and
water. If there is ingrained dirt, use a soft nail brush. Leather is pretty tough stuff and will handle a reasonble scrub.
Good luck,
Jim.

I can't think of a funny reply - Car is great for what it does so I want to keep it for 300,000K or so. We have a Jck for the dirty stuff.

We've tried a few cleaners on our beige leather lounge which had gone a shade of
grey. Nothing worked.
Then one day I was given a pack of
Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Wipes - cleaned it up like freakin magic.
I think the wipes were picked from a $2
shop.
