Should I take it in to the car wash and get it steam cleaned or something. It's starting to smell like old leather you know.

 

Is there a good place to take it in san fernando valley?

 

Why dont you use a good cleaner and then condition it?

 

Are you doing something in your car to cause it to smell funky? My car is older than yours and never had that problem. :Shrug:

 

What products do you use for cleaning / conditioning the leather (only products I know that cause a 'smell' are those that are formulated with saddle soap or lanolin)

 

I took it to the car wash 6 months ago and he used some conditioning product on the seats. I think that might be what's causing the smell.

So I figure get the smell out by taking it in again but only steam clean and shampoo. No conditioner.

I know it's the leather because even the back seats smell the same way and no one sits there.

So, what's a good cleaner and conditioner that I can do myself that will get rid of the smell?

 

Will doing it myself get rid of the smell or do I have to steam clean it?

Do not steam clean it, all you will do is extract the natural oils. I like using either Four Star or Duragloss Leather care products.

 

I ordered the zaino z10. I'll buy some woolite and clean it with that.

 

Which woolite do i buy? Any link?

 

Regular Woolite............I think its a blue and white bottle..

 

Perhaps steam cleaning will bring the leather to a 'sterile' (removeing the existing product(s) that are causing the smell, after the steam treatment condition the surfaces

Steam cleaning- Cleaning interior doors, leather and vinyl upholstery clean exceptionally well with steam
