BMW Pebble Leather Cleaning?

Hello,

I recently had a customer get a quote on a 2014 BMW with the light Beige Pebble leather interior.

I could see visible dirt on the leather and hope that it was just dirt, I am thinking it might be color transfer from blue jeans; as that seems to happen on light colored leathers quite a bit.

The BMW leather is very tough hide and probably can take a strong leather cleaner. I am looking for suggestions on a product to help get those stains out?

I have used leather masters in the past and like it for smooth leather but I don't think the light style application would help loosen the dirt, it looks more like I need a product that can be scrubbed with a soft brush.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful :rockon
 
I would use an interior apc like optimums and then start out with a mild dilution then go up from there.
 
I have Meg's 10:1 APC I will give that a try.

Just curious why no one suggests leather Cleaners like Connolly? I realize the cost is prohibitive but it must be better overall?

10/1 apc may be too strong, maybe not

BMW leathers are coated, most "leather soaps" are a waste of $$$$, Just don't mix it too strong and you'll be good to go.
 
Lolz. I disagree with Ron. Most APCs are pH basic - even diluted. While this MAY not affect the leather, I can't see risking it when these seat covers are so expensive.

However, I've used various basic cleaners on my BMW nappa leather (including Megs Leather Cleaner ~ pH 10) without any issue. So, I guess I'm a hypocrite.

Out of all the stuff out there, I think the best cleaner is from Leather Masters. It's pH neutral and works well. Sonus All in 1 is another good super cheap cleaner. It's an APC - but dilutes 1:30 for leather.
 
I used Megs 10:1 with a small scrub brush and it worked really well, Meg's APC says it also has a leather/vinyl conditioner in it, so it won't dry it out.

Anyway it worked really well, thanks for the suggestions!

Leather Master is my favorite but it says to gentle rub it in a circular motion, don't think gentle motion would work on this leather.
 
Connolly products have their place but last I checked they are made for older untreated leather vehicles like Jaguars, etc...

My All Time Favorite Leather Cleaner/Conditioner still is Link--- Zaino Store : Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner

This product has cleaned about every kind of leather I have ever seen, and if you have Steamer and spray the cleaner on the leather, brush it, and apply steam through a small white towel, you will be amazed at how much brown gunk comes off into the towel..
