Folks
Any advice on removing stains from pale grey BMW leather? The seats and armrest are stained by the owner'ss denims and leather jacket.
Any ideas folks?
Cheers

I've always had good results from doctor leather wipes.
Just use one of the wipes to clean the leather and then a microfiber cloth to wipe them dry.
No need for any other products.

Another thumbs up for doctor leather wipes :happy2:
-
Raceglaze leather cleaner is really good to
-
Dr Leather or Gtechniq I2 are very good whilst being gentle
-
What ive found very good in the past is auto glym interior cleaner and a magic sponge.

The interior of my Audi A8 was light grey. I found Autoglym leather cleaner (spray version) and damp sponge very good. You need not to over-wet the leather, a lot of patience, and a number of applications, but it will remove stains. The trick is to do is gradually so as not to rub of the colour. Autoglym leather polish after.

Dr leather is the best I've used and will only use now, (I'm a detailer)

Depends on how long the stain is on your seats, but in most cases Dr Leather works great.
-
Gliptone leather cleaner ive heard is also very good
-
Dr Leather wipes and/or magic sponge... be gentle though!

Will the Dr Leather wipes work ok on parts of the steering wheel to get rid of marks & smell?

Yep they should work they're the same as the spray just in wipe form for ease of use. and they won't remove smell

Funnily enough, I had to tackle the same issue on my Edition 30 seats. Dye from black denim has progressively made the driver's seat a lot darker/dirtier than the passenger seat. I just put some 1001 carpet cleaner in a bowl of hot water and attacked the seat with a cloth. Came up like new. Dunno if that would work on leather, but thought I'd throw that out there :smiley:

If the smell you're trying to get rid of isn't a leather, I would recommend using your usual cleaner and some Glyptone Liquid Leather - Leather conditioner. Follow bottle directions and repeat a few times over the course of a few weeks and you'll get a permanent leather smell from your steering wheel. If the leather smell is what you were trying to avoid, don't use this.

Modern leather doesn't need conditioners, it's a gimmick passed up from old unfinished leathers (new leathers essentially have a clear coat). By putting conditioner on modern leather you make it become dirtier over time as the oils in it attract more dirt.

One can also apply a thick coat of non-gel, non-oily cuticle remover....
