My charger has the light almost white leather interior.. there are a few spots that could use a good wipe down.

what do you use?

Book says just water but I thing something like McGuires leather cleaner or the mopar cleaner (dealer) would be just fine.

If you go to www.perfectautofinish.com, you will find lots of good info on cleaning your seats and some great product. I use the cleaner and then the conditioner and my leather looks new, and I have the light leather in my C. I do it every two months in the hotter weather, plus it helps to remove the blue dye from my jeans.

May not be for everyone but I used a "Majic Eraser" for spot removal and it was just that - majic. I first tried a leather cleaner which did nothing.

I second this, the "Majic Eraser" is simply the best cleaning tool I have ever used. Also good for cleaning marks on the door kick plates, foot well sills and any mark in the plastic/viynl interior.

forget the snake oil.

I have to clean my car interior almost once a week due to all the polution in Seoul... Has anyone used soap and water?

spray nine

with a full bottle, cut it 50/50 with water, so that u make 2 full bottles, spray some on a micro fiber towel, dont let it drip or use to much that it runs, and wipe away, i worked for a caddy dealership and thats all they used on the leather, and it will wipe away just about anything..

afterwards a leather conditioner to treat the leather..

I've been using Zymol Leather Cleaner and then follow with the Zymol Conditioner.

After 38K miles and numerous cleanings, the threads on the drivers side are darker than the rest of the car. Wonder what would clean the threads?

I'll probably just spray some bleach and let it sit for a couple of days.

I use Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner, couldnt be happier, the solution smells like pure leather, thus when you are done with the whole car, oh my god, you will be happy

Another Mr. Clean "Magic eraser" fan here.

We have white leather in our boat and light grey in the 300c. We use Meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner and they look like new. (you just need velcro to keep your back side in the seat once you've cleaned them tho.)
