Cream leather

Looking for care & colour restore tips, just starting to see some colour transfer on mine.

Assuming you mean blue jeans or whatnot are starting to show on your leather, I have found that it usually comes off pretty easily. I have two kinds of leather cleaner. I have a bottle of Lexol cleaner, which you can now buy at most any auto parts store. It's good, but it is actually too gentle for many things. I also have a bottle of Blue Magic Leather and Vinyl Cleaner, which you can also buy most anywhere. This stuff is really good. You can try it on just a soft cloth, but since leather has wrinkles, and sometimes requires some soft agitation, if just a cloth does not work, go to Home Depot and buy what is called a chip brush. They are with paint brushes. They are real cheap (like $2.00), and have natural bristles and unpainted wood handles. Then take scissors and cut off about 2/3 of the length of the bristles. You now have the perfect soft brush to agitate leather clean.

Here is an actual example of how Blue Magic works better than Lexol in many situations. When new, your steering wheel was a satin black leather. But now it's very shiny where you hold it from your hand oils. After cleaning with Lexol it will still be shiny. After Blue Magic it will be satin and just like new. Don't ever rub hard or vigorously on leather. Let the cleaner do the work and rub very gently. I use Lexol conditioner after whichever cleaner.

Thanks both, yeah it's the blue jeans that's doing it. Always had black leather which hides this so much better. But I wanted a lighter interior this time
