FWIW I got the Autoglym cleaner and balm and did the wife's front seat with it.

Very impressed and easy to use even when it's 40 degress outside.

Yeah mum even stole my Autoglym to do the leather lounges. Brings them back to looking like new.

How'd you go Harry. I did mine over the weekend and they came up tops. I had a cleaner/conditioner that I'd been using but I went out and bought separate bottles and the results where great.

My rear seats where filthy, had probably never had a good clean. But I did get out a few sunscreen stains and the interior looks new again. Except for a few wear marks

Yeah I forgot to update.

 

I had a go with that oakwood kit a couple of days ago. Didn't get the sunscreen stains out put overall it worked well and the seats look and feel good.

I used a harder bristle brush on the sunscreen bits and it got it out. They'd been there for ages too

Ok then. I had a look at brushes and couldn't find anything appropriate to the application. What did you use?

You might have to work the cleaner in with a bit more pressure, but would have thought it would come out pretty easy not being on the seat for long.

 

That guy that Morgan posted a vid of uses the brush and also for the tougher stains the scrubbing sponge. not sure if its in the vid that was posted or one of his other ones. But you gotta be a little gentle not to scratch up the seat. After watching the guy its made me realize I have so much to learn lol

 

Something like this brush wise. or just anything like a paint brush pretty much works without scuffing the leather

Didn't think about a paint brush. Probably should make a trip to bunnings then.

Yeah that's what I used, thick soft bristle paint brush. Then I had a hard bristle scrubbing brush for the tough stains. They lather up the shampoo really well.
