What type of conditioner do you use? Is it black on all the threads or only the one's where you sit? i.e.. Jean runoff.

Hi Steve, best way to fix this is use an APC (all purpose cleaner) which can be found on site sponsors website detailersdomain.com you dilute this and I suggest a 1:5 APC:water ratio for interior. Use this with a microfibre and give it a gentle scrubbing and it will clean them up perfectly.

Once you have done this use a leather conditioner (I suggest Zaino Z-10) on the leather again as the APC will remove some oils and protection from it.

Hope it helps.

PS having spoken to Phile from Detailers Domain on many occasions I can guarantee he would only be to happy to help choosing the right products for you.
