After putting new hardware on all the doors, a fancy new faucet on the kitchen sink, and finally replacing his broken garage door opener with a brand new one, he said "WTF am I doing? I'm spending all this money so some guy I don't even know can enjoy himself in the future. And I could've spent the same money and brought that enjoyment to me and my family over the last 15 years! What an idiot I was. I won't make that mistake again." You have to live to learn...

+1000 to that. Plus they are ugly. Talk about ruining a great interior.

Its specifically designed the way it because of the perforated seats. Just did it on mine, no issue with the seat perforations.

I've also used Leather Masters Cleaner, this is a better product IMHO. The foaming nature of it does some of the cleaning work, I don't know that it would be as effective if you sprayed it on a towel first.

I'm a real estate broker and this happens all the time. Everybody always puts off maintenance and upgrades until right before they sell, and then all of a sudden their house looks amazing right when they go to sell it, where they have been living there for 10,15+ years with projects half finished, etc.

Have you considered using Leather Masters in a hand pump foam bottle? Work great and provide a great dwell time and cleans up fine.

Followed by Leather Masters Protect in a fine mist sprayer.
