2 SS orange leather

Greetings all:

I have a 2012 2 SS, with orange and black leather seats. Somehow the seats look tarnished, as the clothes Im wearing turned them a shade navy blue. Any suggestions how to clean them? Does anyone have the same problem? Anyone have seat covers?

Thanks,

Sean

This is what I use. You can also use an APC (All Purpose Cleaner) diluted per mfg. recommendations.

No Alcantara? Just Leather, right?
If it's Alcantara try these tips:
http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/916...rior-surfaces/
As most of the above stated try the Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner, followed up with their Leather Conditioner on the leather. Here are some "real world" pics of before's and after's on a set of beige rear seats that had sunscreen and sweat stained/soaked into them and left to set up nicely in the June South Carolina heat and sun for a week to ten days. Not a companies advertising, my actual experience and work...

Blue jeans do leave dye on the orange seats. Adams stuff removes it, for sure.

I'm sold on Adams. Hopefully it works great on my leather.

BigMacLA, Did you get the Adam's products and try them? How'd they work if you did?
