Leather cleaner

Morning I'm looking for some advice on how to keep my red leather well red. It's starting to stain from jeans and clothes and wondering if there is anything I can put on to stop it and protect it?

Plenty of products can bring them up clean, different story if you had individual leather....nightmare to maintain.

I use AG leather cleaner, spray on and use a micro fibre. Do it every couple of weeks to my drivers seat to keep on top of the blue stains on my red leather.

I found the AG stuff left the leather quite shiny looking.

Dr leather wipes. Once a month or so is good enough for oyster. Probably less often for coral.

I tried now Leather Honey products which has excellent multiple reviews on amazon, prime area was to clean and protect driver's BEIGE seat as it gets most of the action.

I used diluted Leather Cleaner here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leather-Cle...er+Honey&psc=1

Then finished with conditioner https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leather-Hon...KDMNG17MAYM1K8

The cleaner did job very well, beige leather looked much cleaner after and i liked the fact that you can dilute the product so you can make it stronger, then the conditioner gave it very nice polish and feel, its like wax. My sofa is next and 3 other car seats!

EDIT: i found better prices on ebay

Start with a clean and Dr leather dye block then Dr Leather wipes every now and again. As above, mine are like new after 30 months.

To deep clean you can apply gentle use of a steam cleaner, then apply a nourishing cream.

I bought a clean and care kit from LTT leather for my individual leather, drove over to Harrogate as its not too far for me and spoke to Judy, she regularly posts on detailing world if you look there.
Kit is great and maintains a nice Matt look to it.

Dr Leather dye block and Dr Leather cleaner is all you need. Having had 3 cars with white leather i have tried most things and these are by far the best i have tried.

I use the dye block every 3 months and clean the seats every two weeks.
