White leather interior: how to clean/maintain??

[Rosschang]

new owner of a used 08" IS250 that comes with white/near white interior leather.

 

drove the car for a couple of weeks, and can't help but notice some minor darker spots/patches/lines here and there on the leather.

 

does anyone have any experience to share on how to maintain these white leather?

 

thanks a bunch.

I would trust meguiar and 3m only. we have a beige interior e200, only use wet cloth on leather and 3m foam to remove tough stain on cabin fabric.

any specific products or professional leather cleaning folks to recommend? I've got a white seat trimming that's been stained by a black colour clothing dye (cheap stuff bought from HK)

 

 

Trying to get this to look back to its original condition :(

normally leather cleaner will do the trick.

 

buy those pure leather cleaner...not those 2-in-1 with conditioner..those doesnt remove hard stains.

I have biege seats too.

When new, look good.

Now there are some dark "crack" lines, esp on dirver side).

If send to professional, can help a bit but will come back.

 

How?

Or it si better to change cover or do a upholstery?

its part n parcel of owning a car w beige interior. if u cover it with upholestry, den whats the point...might as well go for black interior.

 

just do regular cleaning of the leather w leather cleaner will do.
