DRIGROB70 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I had same problem with wife's car. 2010 Buick Lacrosse with light colored interior. I used Meguiars leather cleaner & conditioner on the seats & they came clean without a problem. I use it 2 or 3 times a year to keep her car looking new. My brother works for the company that makes magic eraser & I asked him about use on leather. He said it was NOT a good idea. Her light colored interior is the reason my new Edge has Charcoal interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I've been using Lexol products, both leather cleaner and conditioner products. I would be careful in using products that are not intended for leather products. I wash our cars weekly, and part of my ritual, is to go over the front seats using Maguires leather wipes. Helps keeping the seats clean. Joe Edited March 19, 2011 by JOEHIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckG35 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Wow...maybe a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? http://www.mrclean.c...and%2BAwareness Definitely DO NOT use a magic eraser on your leather! The magic eraser can/will also remove the dye from the leather. There are many tips out there for removing denim from leather, however be very careful as you don't want to ruin your leather. I've removed denim safely in the past buy spraying a small amount of hair spray on the spot. I then proceeded to use my normal leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner as well.

JOEHIO Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) My brain just clicked back on. When we first got my wife's MKS, got ink on the seat, just about SH#$ my pants. Went to the dealer, they said to get baby wipes, and it worked. Might want to give it a shot. Edited March 21, 2011 by JOEHIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 If you have access to a steamer, wrap a white cotton terry towel around the head. Spray the area with a mild APC (Never use Woolite or a Magic Eraser on leather) and then go over it with the steamer. The towel will absorb the stain. Ultima makes a leather conditioner that has great protection to it as does Optimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Todor Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'll try those. Not to get off topic but how can I make all the doors unlock when I put the car in park? Only when the drivers door is open the others open too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when the drivers door is open the others open too. I think that's the auto unlock feature found in the vehicle section on the left hand small screen. I have mine disabled.

I will concur. DO NOT USE A MAGIC SPONGE!!! If you understand that a magic sponge works on abrasion to remove surface dirt, you will see that it is a poor choice for leather. Unless you feel like prematurely wearing out your leather, I would advise to stay away. A magic sponge is nothing more that a sanding block with an amazingly high grit count that is soft to the touch. Having said that, I always start with a terry cloth towel and some distilled water and move up from there. Steam as Richy suggested or even baby wipes, but Magic Sponge Nevar!
