what do you clean/feed your leather seats with?
« on: May 28, 2013, 04:24:38 pm »
i've been using AG leather cleaner and then balm on MY2008 seats. It looks good when applied, but 2 days later it leaves a dry white powder on the surface...dooh.
what have you guys found to work the best?

The VW leather is treated/coated in plastic so any "feed" will just sit on top of a plastic layer rather than be absorbed. Just use dilute APC.

cheers guys, i guess that is exactly what is happening, its just drying on the "plastic" surface.
Gliptone is ok on this surface?

There is some sort of "magic eraser" that you can get that is supposed to work well on the "leather"  :happy2: PM Greeners.

I wonder would it be powerful enough to erase the memory of some of my, ermm..., less attractive 'conquests' (lol) over the years.
