    Re: Leather Cleaning with APC

    Out of curiosity, why would you want to use an APC? Why not just use a product designed for leather cleaning? Poorboy`s does have such a product now.

    Re: Leather Cleaning with APC

    if you already have tha apc and are set on using it i would sugeest a 3:1 (3 water) it depends o nhow dirty and how often. But i would def. start weak maybe even a 10 to 1 and work up till its strong enough. but like Jngrbrd (sp) said i would use a leather cleaner like lexol.
    P.s i have not used this product however this with ne apc no matter who makes it, it is alwasy wise to start wk and work up. the last thing you want is some sort of damage becasue you didint take the time to work things out.

    15:1 or 30:1 would be the rates I would use if it was grimey , greasy , and just plain filthy...the New Leather Stuff wasn`t made to handle these situations but APC will take care of it easily.

    I would be concerned with the APC drying out the leather. I t might not hurt if it was a one time deal but over time i think it would do more harm then good. My seats were dirty a better word for neglected. I used woolite with a magic eraser and to maintain the leather i hit with PBs leather Stuff or Megs Cleaner/Conditoner.

    it won`t do any harm and it should be treated afterwards with a conditioner if it is bare leather or just a dressing if it is coated.
