    Evening all

    My drivers seat is starting to get decidedly grubby , so its time to do something about it. A web search throws up huge numbers of products , any recomendations? Colour is moon silver (iirc) if that matters.

    thanks

    Saddle soap. As the name implies it is used to clean and rejuvenate leather saddles. A bit of hard work but it will clean, restore and help protect the leather, should be able to find it on the web or equine supplier.

    I got some leather wipes with my sofa, and used them - seemed to do the job. Might be available from furniture shops.

    I've used Gliptone - excellent results. If really grubby, clean with the intensive cleaner first, then follow up with the conditioner.

    Intensive cleaner:
    Sucuri WebSite Firewall - Access Denied

    Conditioner:

    For subsequent cleans, there's a maintenance cleaner available in a spray bottle. Hope it helps!

    Thanks to you all. I found some cleaning wipes in the supermarket, which removed the grime but left the leather feeling very dry and rough, so used some autoglym leather conditioner which made it all soft and supple again. Then got some Simoniz wipes , hard work but eventually get the leather clean, then used the autoglym.
    Having been neglected for too long, along with it being a light colour leather and my not being too precious about what i wearin the car it’s a bit of a chore but doing it a panel at a time and drivers seat certainly looks better.
    I’ll take a look at the Gliptone products.

    Dealing with grubby leather seats can be a hassle, but fear not. There are plenty of products and tips to help you out. When it comes to cleaning leather, it's essential to choose the right products that won't damage or discolor the material. I recently came across a helpful blog on vonbaer.com that offers valuable insights into leather care. They cover everything from cleaning techniques to product recommendations. It's a great resource for leather enthusiasts like us. So, I recommend giving it a visit to find some useful tips specific to your moon silver-colored seats. Taking care of leather items is crucial to maintain their quality and appearance.
