What kind of brush do you recommend that I can use to clean my tan leather seats in a 1999 Camry XLE? Do I need a special horse-hair brush, or can I use a sponge or something else? The seats aren't extremely dirty, they just have some ingrained dirt in them that I would like to get out.

Also, I plan on using a 1:10 woolite / water solution to scrub them clean, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth to get the soap out, then condition with Zaino Z10. Does this sound like a plan? I also have Sonus leather cleaner. Would that work better than the woolite + water mixture?

Thanks! :)

Thanks! I have seen this one in the AG store, but was just wondering if there was another kind that I could buy OTC that I could use...

Let's not forget to mention, that if he has a PC, it's possible to get one of the little rotating brushes for them:

Grey Ultra Soft Upholstery Brush (http://www.autogeek.net/grulsoupbr1.html)

Hardly over the counter, but could be just the trick. There's several, and I hope I linked the correct one for the application.

I searched and searched for this item here. I had to get it from a competitor. I thing AG has to word items so they can be found with the search feature.

I knew AG sold this, so I kept looking until I found it.

I will second it that I was unable to find this particular product line using the search engine. I just kept clicking product category links and drilling down.

My vote goes to the Natural Horse Hair Brush linked-to above.. this one,

http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/autogeek_2108_26518147


High quality, soft bristles that wont scratch but dense enough, (lots of bundled hairs), to provide good cleaning action.

When working on nice leather you want to use quality products and a quality brush or you can scratch or scuff the leather surface. You also want to be very careful for any exposed stitching.

A good quality natural horse hair brush doesn't cost you money, it saves you money because it's safe, effective and the right tool for the job.
