^ Rather then copy & paste the WHOLE thread, I'll just leave that as a link.

If you're on any other car forums, please post this so more people can benefit from it.
Im not on here too much after selling my Z4, so PM me any questions, but the fastest way of getting into touch with me would be to email me at monetteaudio@mail.com

Used a toothbrush on the whole seat.. took some time but came out amazing. Conditioner is sitting on the seat over night. I am quite impressed with the results thus far.

tooth brush is a little small isnt it? I highly recommend horse hair brushes. It's common among shoe polishers and its real soft and gentle on your leather.

The tooth brush is small but it also helps to really clean in the tight spaces. A brush like that wouldnt help let me scrub in a circular motion.

Holy shit, good thing I checked the notifications. I forgot about this thread entirely.

For the brush I just used a finger nail brush, same kind you can get at any hardware store. Nothing special. Ideally you want to use a brush with pretty strong bristles to really give the leather a good scrub. Im sure a toothbrush would work great for the small spots, but I've always done this with a firm scrubbing brush.

FWIW, I've never damaged a seat by using a firm bristled scrub brush, so I wouldn't worry about it.
