Default Help needed with red leather

HI all I have red leather seats for my S6 I'm currently using Trinova to clean the leather but I've realized that it takes a bit of the dye off nothing drastic though. So what do you guys recommend to clean red leather seats?

I don't have experience with red leather but I use lexol products and I've been happy with the results.

I have Arras red seats in my S6 and I tend to get jean stains on them. I started using Chemical Guys leather cleaner and it works pretty well without leaving a shine.

I recently got the Swissvax Leather Kit. It's the best leather cleaning stuff I have ever used. The kit came with cleaner, leather milk, a leather brush, a soft towel and a carry bag. It was about $120, but man.... totally worth it. When I cleaned my seats the first time with this kit it got out so much dirt. It was insane, actually. I think the leather brush is the secret to the cleaning effectiveness.

Also, when the leather milk dried it left the seats with a nice, matte finish. No oily or greasy residue.

Is this the kit you recommend?
Swissvax.us LEATHER CARE KIT

I found the Elephant leather fat and leather brush on eBay but no kit.

Yes, that's the kit I have.

You must order it from Swissvax directly. I did not find it for sale anywhere else.


That cleaning brush could be the hidden secret. I couldn't believe how much dirt came out of my seats after 1 cleaning with it.
