Get a nail brush and work some sort of leather cleaner (Lexol or Leatherique is good) over the leather. If it is really worn and cracked - I guess you can try getting the matching Leatherique dye stuff. ---

Do not shit in or around the seat area, then you would not have this problem ---

I really don’t like Lexol. The cleaner is really difficult to rinse off. I preferred using a dilute mixture of Woolite and 303 Aerospace protectant. But, that was when I had money to spend on a $24 bottle of protectant. ---

> [@omgzerica](#): > > i heard Lexol can take the color out of the leather. is that true? In my experiences, no. I did a GTO with red leather seats and it didn’t. You should buy a specialty cleaner and conditioner for non-treated leather. May or may not be able to get them locally. ---

hahaha absolutely not. A cursory search on Autopia reveals that many people are using those little steam cleaners for leather. Well, along with Woolite. ---

May or may not be able to get them locally. Not like whit is going to be untreated, lexol is meant for non-coated leather anyway. I guess if you’re worried - start with diluted Woolite. ---
