I was wondering the same thing. I have an 02 limited with the light color leather and i noticed that the drivers side seat was a lot darker than the rest. Upon inspection i noticed that it was actually dirt!?!

whats the best way to clean off that leather?

thanks,

I've hear the various leather cleaner wipes like armor all makes are half decent. My Freedom edition has some of that lighter leather on the steering wheel and seats and I've used two different kinds of "orange" cleaners because they work well degreasing. I haven't run into a problem yet and they work well and smell nice!

Hope my 2 cents helps!

I used Lexol from this place with my 97 ram that had a light brown interior. It did a great job. Its a 2 part system with a cleaner and protector.

Lexol Cleaner then follow that with Lexol Conditioner, then top it with 303 Space Age Protectant. Your seats will thank you.

Ditto on the Lexol stuff, a little pricey but works well.

My Jeep has the Light Grey Leather interior.

I just got my Jeep back from the dealer after they replaced my seat heater. The cloth on the insides of the leather was really dirty along with the leather itself. I used some Leather Wipes (armor all) and all of the grease / stains came right out. Even in the cloth! I was really impressed.

The element burned out last week (39,xxx miles on the odometer) One day it was working fine and then the next morning the little indicator light just started flashing. I posted the whole story in the general discussion if you want to know how much it cost me.

I have a Freedom and there are parts that are light colored leather...I cover my seat with a blanket and put one of those steering wheel covers on when I take it to the dealer. They have no consideration at all when it comes to getting grease and crap all over. I don't want to risk my interior!

Leather wipes from armor all work well. I have tried several things, and they seem to do the job.

I've used Lexol for years. In Colorado there are a lot of high dollar Cowboy Boots worn some with prices that makes your wifes shoe shopping trip look like a quick stop at 7-11. Any way even the top boot store will alwys tell you LEXOL for cleaning and caring for your leather. If it's good enough for my Tony Llama $250.00 Boots it's good enough for my Jeep.
Just my $.02 worth :wink:

I use Mothers Leather cleaner and Leather conditioner (2 seperate items).

I wish i could compare to the Lexol you guys are talking about but ive never used it.

The Mothers works REALLY well for me. We let the dog have free roam on the leather seats in the Rene and after i clean them and use the conditioner you would swear the seats were brand new.
Its a bit of a pain to find in the stores..I either order it online or my brother gets it for me. He even uses it on his leather couch and love seat in the house...haha.

Good luck,
Bryan
