Leather cleaning
I have a '73 450 SL that has original Bamboo interior. It's really in good shape, but I have not been able to crack through dirt in the grain of the flat panels, the dash and the convertible boot trim. I have used Maguiars, tried goo gone. Good old fashion soap and water, and Neat's Foot oil and i still have dirt in the grain. Any ideas, folks?

you might also look at www.colorplus.com. I have used their cleaner and color with very good results.

Also a professional traffic lane carpet cleaner is vey effective. |

X2. If Leatherique doesn't do it, it may be moving outside the scope of what you can handle. Leather Master is another company that makes a strong cleaner. I've had some success with it. It's only a cleaner, not a conditioner. |
I've been using the Mercedes Benz Leather Cleaner and Conditioner (from the dealer) for several years now. It works well for me. It's made by Meguiar's and I apply by hand, then towel off with a cotton towel.
It removes plenty of dirt and grime and leaves the leather feeling supple and soft. Doesn't leave a shine and doesn't come off on pants/clothes. It's a blend of mild detergents, waxes and oils. By all accounts, Leatherique is a fine product, but it seems more designed for rejuvenating and cleaning aged and/or distressed leather. For regular cleaning and maintenance, I would think the Mercedes product is fine. All IMHO. ;) |
I used The Ultimate Sponge from a .99 cents store and worked so well.
Give a try and you will see. |
