What should I use to clean and wipe down? I have a beige interior and just got back from getting my windows tinted and it looks like there are a few stains on my seat (probably from the workers) Can I just use regular leather cleaner? Need something asap, so something from Wal-Mart or Target would be best.

^^^ yeah i'm pretty sure the window sticker said comfort seat leatherette. Would it be bad if I use a leather only cleaner? I want to buy some good stuff since I am going to be using it quite often, is Lexol real good or is it just good for the time being?

LOL you guys are going to PWN my ass right now..........LOL. But PTL raised a good point and I was thinking....why would the comfort seat option come with leatherett?.....haha. So I went to check the window stick again and it says........beige LEATHER! haha.

But just to be sure...if it is leatherette, it'll say leatherette right? I got confused b/c I could have sworn my sales guy said leatherette, but maybe he was talking about the other car I was looking at.

Be sure to test it out on a small area first.
