Hey guys. I have a tan leather Audi, and tan leather BMW and boy is it hard to get the leather clean in those. I have Chemical guys leather cleaner and I spray it on, agitate with brush or microfiber and the leather just doesn't get that clean. gray lines of dirt etc stay on the leather.



I also have the leatherique, admittadly i haven't tried the whole process, but can I just use it as a cleaner? or does it only work if you do the heat and many hours of sitting?



I have meguiar's interior quick detail spray and that doesn't work very well either.



what is everyone using on tan leather? BMW and Audi, which I have no idea what I should be using on them. I love the Chemical guys leather conditioner as it smells great.. but what can I get to clean? Especialy really stubborn dirt/stain? one in particular is where you sit. Looks like almost jeans rubbed some dirt on it.



thanks..
 
I use Megs APC+ on particularly dirty leather. Works great on Audi light grey. Meguiars claims its is leather safe at 20:1, some people use more... I haven't had to use it, but the Joy/IPA seems like something for really bad leather.
 
I noticed that someone on here posted something not to long ago about this same thing. They said if you spray the seats and put a garbage bag over them to kinda steam em up. Turn on the heat in the car let it sit for a while. Come back and wipe off. I never tried it but they had good results. Good luck.
 
Can you post pictures? If the leather at the bottom of the creases has cracked through the color, you will need to have it redyed.
