I deep cleaned the Accords leather seats yesterday. I used a mixture of warm water and Woolite delicates (about 1 part Woolite to 8 parts water) to clean the seats. I bought a new paint brush and cut off about 1/2 inch to make the bristles more stiff then liberally sprayed it with the Woolite mixture and worked on one section of leather at a time, scrubbing in circular motions when wiping down with a damp cloth. I was shocked how clean they looked after! Its amazing how much dirt and grime is actually embedded in there that you don't realize exits until its gone. I did all the seats (removed front seat covers) then topped with Meguiars Gold Class Leather Conditioner. I really like this products. I bought Lexol when I bought the car but don't care for the shine and sticky residue it leaves behind. The Meguiars leaves some shine but its not overly glossy, and I prefer the smell. It also has UV protection that Lexol lacks. Overall I am happy with the results and will continue using this product. Understand folks that most automotive leathers are coated in vinyl so the "conditioners" don't have the full effect on the actual leather, but some include UV protection that is beneficial. I also detailed the exterior, just a simple wash, wax as you dry, and wheel and tire cleaning. The last detail before she goes off to the body shop on Tuesday for some rust removal...praying and hoping she comes back with the all spots fixed and no damage! Here are some pics!
