This is very good scrub with a soft nail brush and some warm water wipe off after with damp cloth then dry with another dry cloth, after apply leather balm job done

I was just looking for advice on cleaning leather and came across this thread. Unsurprisingly, the link doesn’t work after all these years, but, fortunately, the name of the product appeared in the address bar.

Vanish stain remover bar.

I’ll give it a try. :thumbsup:

It also looks like Mike’s username has changed in that time, too.

Edit: It looks like the original link has now been updated.

Hi Dave.
Yes it's great on cream leather, small bucket of luke warm water with a very soft nail brush, and a soft damp cloth, make some larther up with the soap and use the brush to work it into the leather seats, scrubbing gently in circle movement and back and forth, wipe off with damp rag.

let it dry natural then add leather balm buff it up.

Hi Steve

They look really good.

I've picked up a pair of seats for my MGB which are in better shape than mine. They have been in storage for 40 years, so will need a good clean.

The vanish bar is highly recommended as Steve said at a nano meet a few years ago Mark cleaned my sandstone leather seats whilst I was doing jobs on other peoples cars and when I actually saw the result a few hours later the difference was amazing

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt

Hi Dave.
It should bring those up a treat, but i would first try a little area which is not in plain sight, i say this because being red they might turn pink? i doubt it but always air on the safe side first.

They will definitely need some lather balm after, i think you can also use the stuff below which they always try and sell you when you buy a new pair of leather shoes etc.

I can test it on my old seats first, just in case.
