Kudos to you for wanting to keep your car in good shape! Cleaning the leather in your BMW is a pretty easy task with a few basic supplies. Here’s what to do:
  • Use a vacuum to pick up any larger debris or crumbs that may be on your seats or in the crevices. This will help you avoid scratching the leather when you clean it later.
  • Apply a pH-balanced cleanser to your leather seats. If you have perforations in the leather, make sure it doesn’t soak through to the seat cushion underneath.
  • With a microfiber cloth and soft brush, begin to gently rub that leather.
  • Once the stains are removed, work a good quality leather conditioner into the leather with a clean microfiber cloth. Make sure to remove any extra product after you’ve given the conditioner some time to absorb into the seat.
This should help get your leather seats gleaming again.
