after reading and doing what the directions say, i am not happy with the results. it didnt clean anything on the leather!! i used a damp towel and tried one spot for atleast 5 mins of cleaning and it didnt remove any of the dirt!!! what am i doing wrong?

 

Yep, digging up an old thread... Did you ever figure out what the issue was? After searching, everyone recommended Lexol, but I've never used it. My leather could use some TLC.

 

I use a bristle brush to work in the cleaner and that aggitates and works out the dirt. I do the same thing on people's center console lids that get caked with dirt over time.

 

i used a bristle brush, but to no avail. did you use a regular type brush or a special one?

 

Nothing special, just a regular one. That's odd, works every time for me. I use Meg's leather cleaner and conditioner but I wouldn't think that would be the difference in results.

 

lexol makes applicator pads, which are pretty much a microfiber sponge. I use those with the lexol cleaner followed by lexol conditioner and comes out looking great every time...

 

ive used microfiber rags too, how long are you guys rubbing it in?

 

Usually only a couple minutes. I've detailed some cars that were pretty bad and had to do a 2nd application but it has all come out the 2nd time around.

 

I use a soft brush too with the cleaner, I dip it in a little bit of water and work in circular motions, almost to a lather then I wipe it down, and wipe it again with a clean wet rag. Once it drys it kinda tightens up the leather nice, afterwards I use the conditioner. Works great for me.
