just bought myself some leather clean & conditioner, and on the back of the tin says do not use on perforated leather.

is this what it says on the back of your tins/bottles, and have you used it on perforated leather?

 

could be because you can get white crusty bits of dried leather cleaner in the the perforations. Mine looks like its got white speckles all over it, I used autoglum.

I've used a soft brush and a pin to get the worse bits out.

If I use any such products now I apply the stuff to a moist cleaning cloth and work it into the cleaning cloth first.

 

that's good to know, my suspicions were correct; nothing todo with it being perforated per-say, but just an aesthetics thing..

 

I use Gliptone cleaner then conditioner and get the same the result some holes filled in. It's worth going over with a toothpick after a couple of days, I find leaving it a while some of conditioner soaks in anyway.

 

Sonus leather cleaner doesn't leave white bits.

 

poor boys leather care has been fine for my last 4 cars and the s2k

 

Zymol used here, in conjunction with the meguairs brush. Impressed by what they shifted. Regular use has healed a few minor cracks, cleaned out the perforations and left a lovely clean aroma.

 

yeh mines got the same, white bits in the perforated leather =/

howd u sort it? a pin u say?

 

I use it too - brilliant

 

I used some Williams F1 Cleaner, no idea who it was made by, found it in the garage and it was pretty old, but brought the leather up a treat and brought the smell back too! Bonus.

No white bits either, woop woop!
