I'm going to try to get a bottle of that tomorrow and start on my interior, it's dirty, really dirty! I'll take some before and after photos as well.
Jacko, photoshop your files! I would like to see other peoples before and after pics if they have them.
Earl!

I'm gonna let it warm up a little before I touch the seats, but it worked real well on the vinyl spot I tried.

Hey guys,
I did indeed try this; on my driver side door to start, and yes, it worked well. I did have to put a lot of work into this though, but it does feel like a new door panel. The leather on the door is a million times better. I do have before/after pics but they're not that great due to the lighting, more on that later. Right now I'm just waiting on the weather and my schedule to meet up so I can work on the rest of the interior. Oh yeah, Jackco, hook us up with those pics, I would really like to see how this has improved other cars.

A word of caution.
I used Fast Orange on my beige leather interior. On the seats, the color of the "dirt" which came off onto my rag was beige. I now have a couple spots where the color appears to have been removed. It appears that Fast Orange will remove the dye from the leather if scrubbed in too much. Anyone else have these reults?

Sorry couldnt get those pics up they are waaaaay to big. I dont know a way to compress the size to a point where it is "postable". I tried to send em to someone to play with it but again thier mailbox wouldnt accept it b/c it was too big.

I finially finished cleaning my entire interior with this stuff and must say it has worked wonders! I want to stress that this DOES take lots of time and elbow greese. Now I have many before and after pics of the job. I'm going to post the pics of my rear seat bench because it was by far the dirtiest and most worn part of my interior. I took the seat inside to make work easier.

Yes, I used "De-Solv-It" citris cleaning spray from my local hardware store. Gray leather 1997 LS400. It took off the ink marks that had remained after trying everything else... even WD-40 had failed!
All of those citris cleaners will remove the surface oils so make sure you treat the leather afterwards.
