want to detail momma's ride.
leather interior.
Back seats are the worst due to years of grandkids candy, sluzzies, suckers 'n stuff

can I use any "normal" detergent and MF towels without mishap?

what's in OTC leather cleaner juices sold at Big Box auto stores?

suggestions welcome

Usually a leather cleaner has more solvents than a regular based cleaner. I have used a neutral carpet prespray to clean some leather but you need to be careful not to overwet. Leather cleaners also have some conditioning agents to leave it soft and supple or you can buy a leather conditioner.

Don't use armor whatever. If you use Meguiars cleaner, they probably also have a protectant. I like using products from the same manufacturer. Work your cleaner in with a sponge then wipe off with a towel. You'll know when to stop wiping when the towel moves easily.

Make sure any "protectant" doesn't have a silicone component (like most stuff sold in auto parts stores). Leather killer.

I know there are exceptions, but it seems that things made for the consumer that are "good for carpet" are "good for wood" and are "good for leather"....

....aren't.

I dunno. I'll PM you the last number I have for him. I went to lunch with him and Lee Senter. Roger sprayed something with a PH of 2- on his face. Smart man.
