Recommendations for cleaning Cream Leather & Seat Belts

Redtop

I just bought a 4 year old car privately with cream leather & seat belts. The previous owner cleaned the car before the sale but the cream leather and especially the cream seat belts are still a bit on the grubby side. Anyone have recommendations for the best products to bring it up like new. I cannot really afford a full professional valet service. Willing to apply plenty of elbow grease.

Gliptone cleaner and conditioner(seperate bottles) are very good.

You'll find it on eBay for about 13 stg delivered.

I've found Meguiars Leather Cleaner/Conditioner to be good too.

a little bit of jif and some elbow grease. and make sure you use a white cloth. or if your passing by any place that does valeting if you have alittle bottle they might give you a drop of there shampoo?

or last thing if you know anybody with one of those little steam cleaners thay work a treat.

I wouldn't use jif on leather as it's very abrasive and the chemical's may react and tarnish the leather.

As mentioned above get some gliptone gentle leather cleaner and spray on the seat and work in with a soft bristle brush, wipe off with a damp cloth.
Feed the leather with gliptone liquid leather conditioner after.

Gliptone is excellent stuff

i use hot water and shampoo to clean my cream seats, not too much as you dont want to soak them.

Dry them off, and use autogym leather conditioner or similar.
