    Does anyone have recommendations for cleaning oyster coloured leather seats ? Seats are still in great condition but driver's seat is slightly darker due to contact with clothes.

    Products from Dr. Leather are very good. They also have a product called Dye Block which greatly limits that colour transfer.

    Autoglym: Leather cleaner, followed by their leather balm cream. Works a treat.

    BTW, what colour is "oyster"..:confused:
    Last time I looked, oysters were to be eaten, prior to a night of unbridled passion. :)

    Darker than white, lighter than cream.

    Maybe only BMW use the name.

    Thanks for recommendations.

    The interior only serves in my mind to tell me that his username is actually quite true :pac:

    Sorry, that's the same as mine but not mine. My steering wheel is on the other side. 3 years old but well looked after.

    Modern leather doesnt need conditioners as they arent breathable like older leather, which did need conditioning to prevent cracking and to keep it subtle.
    You just need a good cleaner.

    Use white cloths
    Fold them in four
    spray your cleaner (according to directions)
    Wipe with one flat side the cloth and turn to a new side

    Repeat until no more dirt shows up on the cloth.

    DR. leather smells amazing
    Autoglym leather cleaner is good as well
    I like optimum leather protectant after as it makes the leather nice and smooth.
