My S500's leather is filthy!

So, the guys at the carwash were unable to get the dirt out of the
crevices in the leather on the seats (I hope I didn't make a huge
mistake by letting them try).  Can anyone recommend a product I can use
to get it clean - preferrably something I can order over the internet?
It's a year 2000 S500, if that matters.

Thanks!

Only one thing to do - trade it in for a new one, that is if you can
find anyone willing to buy a car with dirty leather. Good luck!

Lexol is junk... no where near Leatherique.

Contains petrolium. Long term it will dry out and kill the leather.

Leather in my car is dead - came from a dead cow or something like
that.

Never worry about cleaning the leather in your car. Just let them ole
boyz in tha bak spill sum beer on em when them is partyin on an that
will keep em klean!

The ONLY (and I do mean ONLY) thing you should use on car leather
is Leatherique.

George does his own website so it has the garage homegrown feel to it
but heed well his wordss. They are gospel. Especially the stuff about
anything petrolium based drying out leather. Most stuff you can get
in stores is petrolium based and works in the short term, but long term?
Uh, no.

I'be brught dead hard as a rock leather back to life with this stuff
and coaches and coats. I'd never even think of using anything else.

Use as directed. The leather must get to 90-100F for it work properly,
no lower, no higher. This is vital.
