If you have Rooms to Go in your area, ask for their leather cleaner and conditioner. its not very expensive, and if you ever bought anything from them, its free. It does a great job of cleaning light leathers, and never leaves shiney residue, I actually think its a bit too flat!

I used to have the light grey leather and it was a nightmare to keep clean. The best cleaner I found was BMW's own. Thats the cream with sponge and buffer. Only my opinion. I have black leather now yippee.

hahah amigo525 dont worry i dont take it as a personal attack. I only wear diesel jeans which are of decent quality however one of my pairs are very dark and are made to fade so that could be causing it. However the passenger seat isn't looking great either.

Funny thing is i had the exact same colour and type of leather in an X5 and didn't have a problem. But i guess i'll just shop around for a good leather cleaner available in s.a. i just wanted to stay away from the stuff that makes your leather all shiny.
Thanks

I use BRITELITE: It is pretty cool. It smell like mint. The best part, I get it for free..how?

Oh well..connection.

I have this guy who works for the volvo dealer. He told me they use that product on new cars or cars off lease.

I have two bottles here..i can post a picture of the bottle. Each time when I see him he goes "hey boddy..do you need more of the stuff".

i dont know, i have that effect on people ...but not on girls thought

I have the same issue. Normal Lexol treatment works fine. I just never saw leather get dirty looking that fast. I have all types of jeans, pants, shorts. It does not matter what you wear. The beige seems to pick up and retain surface dirt. It does clean off just fine. You must regularly wipe it down. Good luck.

Yeah, I don't have any problem with beige interior in terms of cleanliness. I only have problem with black interior => hot in summer.

I let clean the whole car by a local cleaner (some indian/greek/... persons). They do the job in detail. You just need to leave your car for a day and afterwards it looks like new.

for the Belgian ones in here:
it is on the road from NINOVE to Edingen(just somewhere in the beginning) and called Kings carwash.

The best Ive ever used is Autoglym leather cleaner & leather polish. Just as it left the factory after using it.
