RazorV3

i use megauirs gold class leather cleaner and conditioner spray. it works amazingly with no extra greasy residue, plus it leaves a "new car" scent.

Yeah, RazorV3 has it right. I use the same stuff too after my mishap with their wipes. Stage 1 is a cleaner, and stage 2 is the conditioner. It leaves no greasy residue of any kind, and it does smell good!

For my birthday my g/f bought me the whole megauirs kit...however the 2 step process (Cleaner, and conditioner) left my cloth w/a red residue (I have the red leather) and that kinda scared me because I thought if I use the product time and time again my seats will eventually fade...is this tru???

Sorry Wanabe, but you are not correct, it is not the dye, thus is can not be bleeding dye. It is actually the pigment coat that is sprayed on the surface of the leather that is beneath the protective top coat. So for you to be seeing red, you have cut throught the top coat and now are cutting through the color coat...pretty soon you will be down to the leather. This will not get less over time...actually worse until all the color coat on the surface is gone and you are into the leather itself.

With the color coming off, some things you will notice are that when dry (without conditioner) the surface will be shiny and slightly tacky. Now there are ways of correcting this, but it would have to be done by a professional.

I have not been a fan of Meguiar's leather products myself...they have been too shiny, and this may be proving my point that their shininess comes from products that are bad for your leather.

Personally I would look into getting this fixed before it gets much worse...if you need to find someone in your area, please let me know and I can refer you to the proper company so you know you will be getting quality service.

This will actually happen with anyone who uses too strong a cleaner or the wrong cleaner as you will cut through the protective top coat and then see the color coming off on your cloth, we see it every day...furniture, cars, jets, everywhere.

Ha 2002S2K - I saw on an automotive show not long ago to apply baby oil to leather seats to help make them soft. Is this a good idea or not?

It will make your seats slippery for one and it could potentially soften the finish, making it easier to wear off. I would not recommend using baby oil in the least, rather a Cleaner, Conditioner, Protector product.
