Re: Leather care??? (SharkInShark)
When I pulled both seats I used carb cleaner to remove the deep grime from over the years.
Carb cleaner? Isn't that a little harsh? (Especially on white leather?)

Yes the carb cleaner was a drastic step, but the white leather was black where it had contacted the center consol and the carpet over the years.
So I gave the entier surface a light wipe to bring out realy imbeded dirt. That was folled by several applications of Gliptone leather conditioner; I like it as it leaves that "new leather" smell too and it realy softens the leather.
I think I'll try the mink oil treatment before winter.
