Leather restorer/cleaner

[1gr8FoSemty]

Good morning,
I just got new leather on my fronts and need to clean and possibly restore the dirty and slightly checked 2nd and 3rd row. Any recommendations on a cleaner/restorer?

This is pretty good cleaner:
Amazon product ASIN B00JIIZCM6
As far as "restore" - it is what it is. I wouldn't mess with any "restorer" products, oils, etc.

Several really good threads already on cleaning leather - Tuff Stuff and Leatherique.

Thanks for the advice. You would happen to have any before/after shots of your cleaning, would you?
Just wondering what my expectations are.

I used the Chemical Guys leather cleaner and conditioner. Did an amazing job.

I know. Most are old and mixed reviews on Leatherique in how long it actually lasts. I'll look up Tuff Stuff. Just curious if there was something a little newer on the market.
I have also seen people use some type of attachment on a drill to clean.
Thx for the guidance...

It's just good non-residue cleaner. I use it to cleanup marker from leather. No pics of old interior. But you will need to use some kind of brush either as drill attachment or just scrub by hand. Spray, let it sit, spray, scrub and wipe. It will become cleaner but it won't be "new"

Taking me back to my old Jaguar days!!! Best to condition on a hot day with the windows up and sitting in the sun as well.

Maybe for veg tan leather and horse / shoe products. We deal with chrome tanned leather with artificial grain and surface treatment.

I've had decent results with Lexol or Leather Honey. A horse hair brush which lathers well and lots of cleaner will usually bring up old/dirty leather. In some extreme cases where you just HAVE to get a leather stain out, a magic eraser helps but be VERY careful with using it as its basically sandpaper.
