I think the wolfgang leather cleaner followed by their conditioner is the best way to go. Really does a nice job of taking care of the material and smells nice to me.

if you just want help neutralizing odor you can try leaving an open box of baking soda in the car for a while. I havent tried to take away leather smell with that before, but it's helped me in the past on some older cars.

But consider NuLux as vinyl not leather.

not sure if this was about the wolfgang product I mentioned, just wanted to make sure people know it is safe to use on our nuluxe. Found this thread useful for anyone wanting some more reading/information:

My car also has perforated leather and in the seat cushions, there are separate heaters and fans (seat warmers / coolers).

In addition to wanting to make sure the Wolfgang is compatible with this type of leather, I'm wondering if when I apply the product, if any goes in thru the perforations, if it could gum up, or otherwise cause issues with the heaters/fans?

I called Wolfgang this afternoon and the tech said the Wolfgang cleaner and conditioner are fine for this car. I'm inclined to believe the guy as he sounded very knowledgable.

Also, if I go for it, I will put the product on a towel (not directly on the seats) and apply it sparingly.
