My '03 CL-S has perferated seats and when I use leather cleaner it gets stuck in the little holes. Is there any way to prevent this, or a way to get it out?

 

15, with a CL-S ?
Short of taking a toothpick to those individual holes, your kind of looking for a miracle. But, to avoid future buildups, apply cleaners and protectants directly to applicator or MF. Work product into applicator or MF first before wiping onto seats.
Wish I could be of more help.

 

Get a different leather cleaner next time, I always use Lexol

 

i use the meguiars gold class leather wipes...very easy to use...

 

ok, I'll stick with the wipes from now on.

 

It's really simple, apply the product to a MF towel, then fold it over so it spreads evenly on the towel. Then apply as you would normally do.

 

Bingo..........dont ''settle" for a product because it already comes in a premoistened nifty applicator....

 

hey, i like that nifty applitcator....

 

I was using a cream leather cleaner and I used the tooth pick too. You can do Lexol but becareful where u spray it. The first time, I got that shit everywhere! Friend aske what the hell all those shiny sports were.

 

zaino LITB FTMFW!

 

i've used both meguiar's and armor all's leather wipes. meguiar's seems to give a deeper richer color but the wipes are too moist and won't be fully absorbed - i usually let it air dry and then buff the excess out with a microfiber towel. armor all's leather wipes seem to have a more matte finish but also requires a little buffing out. meguiar's is kinda' "sticky" and armor all's makes the leather "slippery". i'm not sure which i like more, so i plan on using both till i decide. both wipes are great for my home leather sofa too. if you use the wipes at least once a month, your seats should be clean, last a long time and look good.

 

i use a vacuum when i clean my seats it sucks all the excess junk/cleaner out of the little holes.

 

If you like the final results, then your off to a good start. Im just saying its very easy to apply a quality product to a MF and perform the same task.

 

I have found that the very best way to clean the whole interior of the TL is Woolite for fine washables. You mix it at about a 10 to 1 ratio with water, and have a second bucket with clean water for rinse. It is acualy recommended for the high end BMW cars in thier manual.
It works like a charm, but make sure u do a good rinse job.

Cheers!

 

My next step is to apply Zaino leather treatment. This stuff is the best. I just put a bit into the palm of my hand and massage it in, seat by seat till im done.
I have Leatheque i think that is how to spell it without getting the bottle out, that is a once a year treatment, but for twice monthly the Zaino is the way to go.

Cheers!

 

I'm going to buy a MF towel tomorrow. Thanks for all of the help!
