Painted or dyed

Is your leather painted or dyed as that makes a big difference

Dyed leathers has open pours and will benefit from a leather conditioner or "feed" as it will be absorbed

Painted leather has closed pours because its been painted the paint blocks the pours and leaves a solid coat of flex-able paint so leather conditioner or "feed" is no good as it wont be absorbed by the leather and will come of on your clothes and what ever else comes in to contact with it.

Painted leather will benefit from CarPRO PERL and it can be cleaned with a mild APC

Dyed leather will benefit from any leather feed/conditioner and it can be cleaned with a specific leather cleaner.

You should determine the leather coating type before looking for a product

Dr Leather spray cleaner.

I cleaned the leather in a 2004 Mercedes Benz that is well looked after and although the leather is cleaned fairly regularly, I was surprised how much more dirt I lifted with Dr Leather spray cleaner. The new smell is really nice and the leather feels completely different............. like new. Definitely one to keep in the cupboard for future use.

How do I know what type of finish is on leather?
Just recently bought a 2007 Audi avant, brown/amaretto or what they call it.
Nobody cleaned it for 12 years so Im trying to find out how to get all staining and grime out of it.

Meguiars Apc even in very light dilution is taking down brown color and is damaging leather/finish

What to use, how to know, what finish is it, I would greatly appreciate the help

Photo attached of seats, they look much better in pics then in person

Shocking behaviour. Why do people think manners go out the window when they are online? You are still dealing with real people, manners don't cost anything.

Hopefully an admin is along soon to escort you along to the nearest fb group. Your child like mentality will be better suited there [emoji106][emoji2357]
