Will use some gentle soap and water in a spray to clean the leather with a horsehair brush to get out stuff.

This time I am trying gtechniq and will see what happens. Find it on autogeek, etc. Will use gtechniq C5 and Panel spray on my wheels, too.

But if I lose some leather smell - getting more Zaino.

Okay - used a damp cotton pad and then gtechniq L1. My first time with it.

Had some Zaino Leather Conditioner lurking on the shelf, so for a great leather smell, used a little bit of Zaino in the back seat.

I need more gtechnic, so I'll end up with their cleaner. I need some #5 for my wheels. Thought I had some but when I looked at it, something happened. It got some air and that stuff does not like air after you open it.
