So I just bought an RS4 on Monday, and today when I was getting out of the car, with the sunlight hitting the inside of the door as I opened it, I noticed that there was a streak on the leather on the bottom of the door and by the handle. I tried a little water on a microfiber and on a cotton t-shirt (that I never wore because it was too small) and then tried vacuuming the areas using my hand to to keep the end of the vacuum from touching the leather. It's a little lighter now, but still there when I put a light on it. Any ideas for getting it out without hurting the leather? I'm working with some normal microfibers, megulars leather cleaner which I haven't used in about a year, and a vacuum with terrible suction. D: Should I just wait until I take it to the dealer for a wash to get it taken care of?

 

Can you post a picture please.

 

Hey Moe,

I posted a couple of pics in the 'ask Moe' thread. Please let me know if they will do!

Thanks again

 

I can't quite make out where the streak is. But it simply sounds like you need to condition the area since you wiped it down with water. What I'd recommend is to clean it with Autoglym Interior Cleaner and then condition using einszett Leather Care or Zymol Treat. If this method doesn't work, simply return the products. I'm very confident it will work.

 

Can I apply any of those products with any soft cloth/microfiber? I'll probably just wait till tomorrow to have it taken care of at the dealership, but I plan on buying a CR Spotless system in the near future and will probably also order some interior care products.

 

You use a microfiber towel with the autoglym cleaner and a foam applicator with the conditioners.

Also, be very careful giving your car to the dealer to detail. Most often, they do more harm than good. Don't be surprised if you get a shiny leather door.

 

Moe to the rescue as always

 

Let's see the RS4! (I'm an RS4 owner, too...)

 

Hey Chris, just saw your post, sorry! I have some pics over on 6speed, I'll upload them on here sometime soon.

 

Too late!! He's no longer an RS4 owner LOL.
