Cleaning the Leather

Anyone recommend a leather cleaning product for the RRS seats. I used Autoglym leather care cream on my black seats and its leaves white residue for some reason. Used this on my previous BMW black leather and it was fine but does not suit the RRS leather for some reason. 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8, Stornoway Grey

Good question.

I used meguiars on my sport = it worked fine and didnt leave any residue.

BUT
Now I am in an audi and have Black/Silver leather .... but the meguiars stuff doesnt get my silver leather clean esp. where jeans etc have gradually left a dark band at the base of the rear of my drivers seat!

Any recommendations on products that will restore the original clinical look of my silver leather?

MDP, have you tried the Megs leather cleaner with Aloe in it?

Not sure how well you'll be able to clean the leather if it's already started to suck up the colour from your trousers

I tried to pick up some of the aforementioned products locally last night - but to no avail

Anyway I did buy some Zymol - but this didn't work either

So I guess I need to by some Meguiars ALOE stuff online now

Been doing a little research into leather cleaning on DW as I have cream leather and lots of dark jeans

See thread here

Apparently this company has great knowledge in cleaning leather, might be worth a call as some have recomended the strong cleaner, but they might recommend something else
