Leather seat cleaning

[brady zq]

Wow, Brett, great writeup!

My $0.02CDN: I like Leatherique products ( www.leatherique.com , no 
affiliation, BTW) . They sell kits with their Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine 
Clean products. It's not cheap but it works well.

Another idea on how to help get/keep the seats warm once you've applied 
whatever product you choose to use is to cover the seats with black garbage 
bags after you've applied the product. Then use a hair dryer to heat them 
up. As a bonus, this allows you to drive the car while the seats are being 
treated.

Cheers,
Brady
