krazy clean with Mr. Cleans magic eraser No elbow grease or scrubbing required.
The other thing that works without scrubbing is any carpet steamer cleaning solution.

Wipe on, wipe off, 303 protectant, done

simple green is a good idea, also in the auto parts store, any of the degreasers... on the back there are dilution scales(use the one for auto upholstry, lol) on tough stains, u can use it a little bit less diluted.

i use a scrub brush or a scotch-brite pad(polishing) to rub the cleanser in.

dry with rag, be sure to get it all, degresers dry hard and leave residue, will not harm seats though

That padding under the seat is very flammable so be careful.

I've used simple green, then saddle soap, then Lexol, then leatherique stuff, Mercedes meguiars leather care, and now to griots.

For a good cleaning simple green worked very well. The saddle soap really helped clean the remaining parts, plus it helped get the leather more plyable. Then I sprayed lexol onto the seats and I massaged it in with my fingers. Then I let the car sit outside and bake with that lexol so the pores of the material opened, then sprayed again, massaged, repeated, and then finally wiped them down. A little meguiars quick interior detailer helped with the removal of excess lexol leather care.

no once you get it clean as described above, you can just maintain it with some nicer products...

If it was on the detail forum then nobody would have seen it. {I'm not sure I knew we had a detail forum....}

But seriously thought try simple green, purple power (same thing but stronger) or mequiars interior cleaner and detailer (red bottle).
