    Yeah so I was using the magic erasers that Scotty recomended on my 99 gtp seats and the leather started to rub off my seats .....Ok so it wasent leather but instead dirt.....It made such a big difference that at the end of the cleaning the seats were a different color...and the erasers were the dirtiest brown i have ever seen....finished up with some meguires leather paste stuff and they were good to go....Worked awesome!!! Thanks for the suggestion Scotty!!


    Recomend them to anyone looking for some leather care...By the way i used the glass cleaner cleaning method that he recomended

    You did indeed scare the friggin crap out of me you hoochie. Where's that ban button at?

    Mine did this as well the first time I used them. Probably just years of build up. However, WillOverkill came up with a better cleaning solution than the glass cleaner. He uses a spray bottle with water and Johnsons Baby Shampoo, which should be a better thing to use than the glass cleaner.

    But since you followed up with a leather treatment, you should be good to go. The mink oil I use seems to do really well at keeping everything nice and supple. I dont clean my seats every time I detail the car either. Maybe twice, three times a year at most. And by the way, the magic erasers work just as well at cleaning the rest of the interior as well. The plastic trim pieces and so forth.
