    Since he won't answer your question about what product he used I will tell you what I have used. The leather on my car was a little dirty and I used a Woolite mixture diluted at a ratio of 6:1. The seat had some stains from a pair of wet jeans that sat and dried. I used a really soft brush to agitate it and then wiped it clean. The stain came out easily. I've also heard about something called Leatherique for really bad seats. It's a little expensive, and I haven't had any issues using the Woolite so no reason to buy it at this point.

    are people really not telling others what cleaning products they use? LOL Youve got to be kidding me. You can find what the pro detailers use easily in google it doesnt take much effort. Most of the shit will fuck up your stuff if not used properly so who cares if they know lol
