I picked up an e90 this week and the seats and floor and center console are trashed bad with melted candy and all other forms of dirt. There was so much candy I vacuumed out of this car. What do I use to get the sticky crap and dirt off of these seats without damaging them? Brown leather.

I personally use a leather brush and powder oxyclean oversaturated in water.

Do not use a hard brush, this will remove too much leather dye.

Not only it cleans it very well, but get the leather back to a semi-matte finish like oem new.

then a good rise with a damp microfiber.

then I use those new leather protector with ceramic coating.


this method also work to restore the glossy look on a old steering wheel.

I used a leather cleaner spray and a plastic nail brush on mine.
Held the nail brush like a knuckle duster and did small circle motion. Worked on a small area for 20 secs and then firmly wiped off the residue with a micro fiber towl. In the towl You’ll see the gunk you’ve dislodged from the grain with the brush.

Get a few nail brushes of different hardness of bristles and start with the softest first.

Go carefully on any part where the top surface has worn away and use a softer brush
