I am having the same problem. My drivers side leather almost has a gray or black look to it. We have a couple new cleaners at work (Auto Zone) that I am going to try.

I'm going to lower the intelligence of this thread a bit...

Doesn't that Meguires look like you're cumming on the seats when you pump it out of the bottle?

I'm just sayin... It does...


I can't wait until I get a nice black interior. Can't stand tan leather.

I used the leather cleaner and an ultra fine brush. As i cleaned it I tried to open the cracks in the material. IMO, there is only so much you can do to get rid of all of it.

www.wetokole.com is how I protect my tan interior.


^Black seat covers. They're nice to sit on and they look good too, though I admit, not as nice as the stock seats.

I knew from the first day I bought my car the tan was going to be a problem, so I got the seat covers before I screwed the seats up.

Lol! ^^^

I have a complete tan interior out of my car that is probably in better shape than most if anyone wants to get it outta my garage. Pm me and we can talk price but as of now, it's just taking up space. Driver seat suade insert is the worst part of the whole interior but still tolerable. Leather is in good shape.

how did you keep the seltzer from getting on the microsuede? i also got a little bit of overspray from the leather cleaner on the microsuede wich did not help the situation lol it made the edges of the suede inserts look like ****. ive heard you can take a fresh razor (like u shave your face with) and comb over the suede with it and it will make it look new has anyone done this?
