    Strong Easy to Apply Leather Cleaner

    I have a Subaru Legacy with a very light beige interior. I have been using the Wolfgang cleaner/conditioner combo every 1-2 months since I bought the car a year ago. I apply the cleaner with a microfiber applicator pad and agitate. The problem I'm having is that the seats are progressively getting darker and the Wolfgang cleaner just doesn't have the bite to get rid of the dirt and stains.

    Whats the strongest/best leather cleaner for light colored leather/vinyl seats? I'd rather not have the care tied up for a day so Leatherique is out of the question. How does the Pinnacle and Leather Master cleaners stack up. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Also should I be using a brush to better agitate the leather/vinyl to get the seats clean?

    I attached a pic of what the seats looked like new.

    Re: Strong Easy to Apply Leather Cleaner

    I used the Leather Master foam from the interior service kit and it removed jean dye transfer with ease from tan Audi leather. If I remember correctly the guys from LM at Detail Fest last year said this foam is equivalent to their strong. I can upload a picture tonight showing a 50/50. I also used Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner last weekend to clean up the leather in a 2008 Charger R/T, worked well to be honest.

    Would that be there "interior strong leather cleaner" pump bottle? How long do those small 200ml bottles last you?

    Thanks

    Oh and forgot to ask earlier, anyone try the Leatherique pristine clean by itself and use a separate conditioner to avoid the bake time with the Leatherique conditioner

    I have found that agitation with a brush allows the product to work better. Do you have any Optimum Power Clean? Dilute to proper strength and it cleans (use brush) leather well. Follow it up with your Wolfgang.

    Yep, that's the foam. I use Prestine Clean for light duty cleaning or after Optimum Power Clean. Depending how soiled the leather is will determine how long the pump lasts. On a 2011 Audi A4 I used the full thing due to the dye transfer but on a Charger recently I used maybe 1/2 the can.

    Re: Strong Easy to Apply Leather Cleaner

    I tried to take a couple pictures just to illustrate the filth. You can see difference in the clean seems vs. the rest of the seat. Sorry, best I could do with a camera phone and low light conditions. First one without the flash, second one with flash.

    Starts with a A ends with a R. And there is some L's and C's inbetween.
