Leather seat cleaning

Post by deranged-gp »

This is going to sound odd but I am struggling to remove body glitter and lip stick from my seats in the GTi, can anyone recommend a good product to clean and treat my leather as well.

Please do not ask me how :oops:

Did you try APC followed by leather cleaner? But just remember to condition the leather again when its all cleaned...
