Hardcore Leather Cleaning
I have a white leather interior in my LS Special Edition Integra.
Looks like it may have never been cleaned in its 13 year life.
I bought some Armor All leather wipes and it is just not enough to get rid of all of the dirt.
What else should I try?
Also, the drivers seat has a decent sized hole in the outside side bolster. Only real blem in the whole interior. What are the chances of finding another white driver's seat like mine? Did this style only come in the Special Edition or can I look at some other models?

Hold on, let me run a search on a high powered cleaner I use on leather (made for leather). and the conditioner. I'll be back with the edit.

Want something cheap and easy? For a straight cleaner you can use 6 parts water to one part woolite--altough, you can use it stronger. Your major thing is to buy a leather brush ( a stiff, short bristled brush). I believe the link I gave has Scottwaxes directions (so easy to do). You'll want to follow up with a leather conditioner.
If any of you want something for not that heavily soiled leather, and a quick clean up/condition, I love the Hi-temp cleaner AND conditioner (all in one). It is quick and effective. I like that stuff. Nice bottle it comes in too.
If you want just a cleaner for every few months, the woolite solution is good, and you can condition with anything of your choice really. Just...that brush is important. It gets all the dirt out.
