Hey guys i am having trouble keeping the Ecru leather clean.... I only have the top down about twice a week and i get this black dust in the seams and all over the back seats with the cream colored leather it seems no matter how many times i clean them they get dirty again....

any tips on a great safe cleaner

 

I use Pristine Clean from Leatherique (www.leatherique.com). It's a bit pricey, but it works great. It's also very easy to use.

 

The best thing I have come across to clean my ecru leather is an attachment for my Porter Cable polisher that is a round brush designed for leather. Once or twice I use this with some leather cleaner, or with some Wollite (1 to 4 with water), and the brush gets the dirt out of the leather and the seams with no real work on my part. I just wipe the now very dirty cleaner solution off with a towel, and I'm back to pretty much the original shade of the leather.

 

If so, where do you find the brush attachment?

I got the brushes, called the "Scrub brushes for the Porter Cable 7424 Polisher," (one for carpet, one for leather) from Classic Motoring Accessories, aka, properautocare.com.
A link is here:

Highly recommended.

 

Thanks for the link, but my PC dual action must be an oldie. the attachment to the pads is velcro. Maybe I will do some searching.

The part that holds the pads will unscrew from the PC so that you can use a holder for pads that are smaller or larger, or for attachments like these brushes. You should have a wrench that came with the PC. Slip this wrench onto the nut to prevent rotation, and you can then unscrew the pad holder and insert a brush.
I think properautocare has some pages that show how to do this, and if you have lost the wrench, I would think that replacements are readily available.
