JimF Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Afternoon, Wondering what I can use to clean up the orange stitching on the seats. I'm thinking a soft toothbrush and some Autoglym interior shampoo, but I'm bothered about ruining the leather. Or ruining the stitching and it ending up all fuzzy and frayed. Help!

Ricey Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Youll be surprised what a decent interior cleaner or apc with light agitation from a soft brush and a wipe with a microfibre will do. Toothbrush is poss a bit too course but a soft bristle one is probably ok The microfibre should wick it away Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If you're worried about damaging anything, then use an earbud initially to apply. You may be able to scrub a little too with a bud depending on the brand. I'd be using heavily diluted APC or heavily diluted Interior Shampoo.

coldel Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Gliptone have a tonne of great leather treatments, worth having a go at the entire seat whilst you are at it...before and after on my old Zed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 I almost bought a 350z with tired tan leather seats so did a lot of research into the leather side of things and came away with the conclusion that with the leather being painted, you can do a great deal with it, however you can argue with those results of yours! Would you recommend using a brush or something or just a cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 They are not tan lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I bought a kit from gliptone, so nail brush, light brush, fairly strong sponge, dyes, degreaser, conditioner and microfibres. Went through a process of cleaning, conditioning, dying etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
