Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Cleaning Light Leather

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Hey CG,

     I would have recommended Pristine Clean, which just seems to be diluter 
Rejuvinator Oil, until I read further down your note.  It seems to me that the 
problem is the fragility of the leather's finish, not any specific cleaner.  
     Did you say that you HAVE used Rejuv. Oil on this leather - or that you 
are comfortable with its performance in general?  I have found that Rejuv. Oil 
applied and allowed to sit for a day, does a good cleaning job as it brings any 
of the dirt to the surface where it can be buffed away.  Still, it sounds like 
the problem is the finish on the leather itself.  Can a Lambo dealer recommend 
a course of action?  Still, I can imagine the response; "sì sig. perry. dovete 
sostituire le sedi."

Do any of you have Crema interiors or something else lighter than the
standard tan?
 
My Diablo seats are filthy and I'm not liking any of my efforts to clean
them. The interior is Snowcorn, which is Lambo's equivalent to crema - a
very light beige, almost off-white.
 
I've tried the citrus leather cleaner from Color-Plus. In the
recommended dilution it started taking color off the seats immediately.
I went from a 50-50 with water to a 10-90 and it's better, but it's
still very splotchy/streaky where it's clean. I'm afraid to rub too
hard
(using microfiber cloths or toothbrushes) because I don't want to take
the color off.
 
I've also tried Leatherique's Pristine Clean, but when following the
directions all it seems to do is smear the dirt around. If I put it on
and wipe it off almost immediately, the dirt comes off, but again, it's
very splotchy/streaky and I can't seem to get back to a nice uniform
color across a patch of leather.
 
Anyone got any suggestions or great products? Just to emphasize, I'm
trying to clean the leather, not feed it. I'm happy with the Leatherique
Rejuvenator or the Color Plus Soffener for that.
 
Thanks,
