    Cleaning leather

    Chris, do you have a DIY on how to clean leather?
    Needs to be done at some point.
    One thing I remember trying the past is the Autoglym leather cleaner and it was brutal, left the leather real dry/streaky so that one is out of the mix.

    APC and a microfibre cloth/brush will get you most of the way there, but I prefer to follow up with gliptone as it seems to firm up the leather more and leaves a love it or hate it smell in the car.

    I just followed the instructions. One towel for applying, one for wiping dry.

    RE: Cleaning leather

    Oh, one thing I did not mention.
    Is there any danger with all that liquid on top of the leather, when it has heating elements beneath?
