Just dilute a drop of Axion or Joy dishwashing cleaner.... into a tabo of water,. use a detailing brish and a rug.

brush it tapos immediately wipe it. that would do the trick

A light solution of detergent scrub will help but be careful. I'm also not sure if this is good for leather in the long run as detergent can be pretty strong. You can try the Meguiares multi purpose cleaner in place (this can be used in diff parts from the interior to the engine, depending on the dilution). Then, add leather conditioner after as to preserve the natural oils of the leather.

If you dont have the time, an interior detail at a reputable detailing shop will help.

Slamm,

Di yata maganda ang leather conditioner because leather manufacturers have specified NOT to use any chemicals or conditioners at all. It will destroy the natural fiber of the leather.

Warm water and a clean terry towel will do the trick.

Opps, I never noticed that... However, how does one recondition the leather as this dries up over time and use in some cases (i.e. resulting in cracked leather seats)? The warm water will do then as this is pretty neutral so there wont be any chemicals to cause harm.

You can try to rub it with a cloth damp in shampoo and water rub it well, then its squicky clean:) and try applying Armour-all for best results:)

Then for gums try applying WD-40 spray on the objective then gently pull it out when the gum softens, then rub it out with shampoo and water solution for good fragrance:)

There are a lot of leather cleaners and conditions in the market today. Some of these brands are Meguiar's, Mothers, Eagle One. Use any of these brands as they were formulated specifically for leather.

Nakuh mga chong.....
Do not use ANY chemicals. Marami na akong nakita na ganito na cracked or faded dahil sa chemicals na applied. And lagi sinasabi nila, Amour All, Turtle Wax and other chemicals ang gamit nila.

Best is to use warm water and clean it regularly. Furthermore, avoid your car being exposed under the sun often.
