If you’re wondering what he’s spraying on the Magic Eraser, it’s Spray 9 that is diluted 5:1. He mentions it at 3:50. Many people keep commenting and asking what product he’s spraying on it. Obviously they didn’t listen and/or skimmed through the video.

Who would have known a magic eraser could be used on leather????!!!! Great video! Thanks!!! And the advice about the protector, excellent advice. Thank you!

Awesome video ! really like the details you show how you work the sponge around the seat so we can understand how to do this. Great learning from an expert like you. Thank You !

I was sold in the first minute! Love magic erasers! But I kept watching because of the results!! Wow, like new seats!!

The difference is amazing!!

Awesome. Thanks so much for your response. I tried years ago to find the right cleaner but absolutely nothing worked. i cant wait to try your method!!

Have white leather in a BMW, getting ready to sell and no one has been able to clean it, my husband was embarrassed to ride with me, we have dogs so I blame them, but I followed his directions EXACTLY and WOWSERS, super impressed. Very little elbow grease but a lot of great results, sure wished I would've looked this up a few years ago. Now the new owner will benefit.

Kumi Verdier ... I have a BMW with tan interior and thinking of using this method. What type of cleaning/spray you used?

Thanks!!! I have used M.E. on plastic stuff, but never thought about leather.... probably cause none of may cars had leather until a bought a Subaru SVX. I'm in the process of fully restoring. Great vid.

Ive been looking for vids like this since 2010 and i can say this is one of the best ive seen ever.

My seats are refreshed. Thanks for a great video!

Good video, very effective results but I’m glad you did it first! The question is: can you up load a link to the products you used because I can’t appear to get them in the UK and was looking for something similar, thanks

Going to try this with my vehicle as well! Thanks for posting this!

I have a whole pack unopened of magic erasers I’m so glad I watched this video!!!!!!

This was a excellent reminder on how easily the use of a magic eraser can rescue you from leather hell! Thanks

fantastic. no kidding. many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Just did this on my car. My seats were not as bad as the ones in the video but my drivers seat was about 50% as bad. Still a nice improvement. And protected with ICE Interior Detailer and Protectant

Another amazing video Bryan. You have the best most informative detailing Channel on KZread! Keep up the good work

Absolutely brilliant Brian!!! Love the end result!!!

Bought a 2016 Lexus 350, driver's seat was badly soiled and scuffed. I first tried TriNova and a Horse Hair brush, not very effective. Then I saw your video ... it made a difference. I may eventually have to have them re-upholstered but the seats are alot more presentable because of your video, Thanks !

This is soooo beautiful to watch!!!! Thank you Sir!!!!

Thanks for another informative and practical vid Brian!.. You rock!

Sooo happy I found this video BEFORE I tried cleaning thd filthy leather seats in a car someone just gave me. .They are gonna be so sorry they gave it to me. Lol. I cant wait to get started so I can show em what a few bucks Some elbow grease ,magic eraser ,and a micro fiber towel with the simple GENIUS in this video can do THANKS

I've been cleaning leather all wrong! Time to get some magic erasers! A wealth of knowledge!

Thanks for the tips. Just what I needed to attack my 2008 Ford explorer seats. Your intro music is also used by a cool British hobby machinist Enots Engineering.

Straight forward and informative. Awesome! Thanks, my leather couch is going to be white again 👍

Nearly all car leather is actually coated with a variation of plastic, so cleaning and protection are really relating to what is safest for that top layer. Once the lower leather dries or cracks from age, heat, and UV damage, little is going to help.

Brian, you make it look oh so easy! I've been detailing cars for more than 40 years... I've also used the magic eraser on leather seats! I think the key is to have the eraser soaking in water before using because I encountered my erasers easily tearing apart! Of course I'm mostly retired now, but I do have a handful of cars (including my own) that I care for, so I'll be trying out the eraser again when I clean up one of my Town Cars. I will say that in this video, the after you cleaned the seat did not look as clean as the "completely finished" seat at the end of the video...i.e. the sides of the seat.. around the headrest.. were still dirty looking at first. Just saying.. but it looked pretty good when finished!

Yep. I pulled out my magic sponge today because I was so frustrated with this 17 year old car i was trying to clean. Worked beautifully. I used dollar store degreaser in some areas of the leather that were really bad.

FINALLY SOMEONE WILLING TO TRY MAGIC ERASER!!

I see a lot of opposition on forums when it comes to magic eraser on leather, but I use it with great success. On leather seats I palm it as you did in the video, and the gliding action will tell you how much pressure to use without grinding into the seat. You'll also see the majic eraser start to pull up the dirt as you progress... like a clay bar on paint. Soaking in water to soften does make a big difference. Keep the good stuff going my detailing brother.

It cleaned it up reall good although i did notice it picked up some of theh factory dye(small specs) but overall it did good. Maybe i didnt dilute it enough. I kept in mind that the seats are 20years old though,and they do look 100x better at least.

FWIW...some good protection to lay down after such a cleaning on the top coat on those leather seats would be something like this.....www.campingworld.com/protect-all-16-oz-w-spray-pump?CAWELAID=120030630000018122&msclkid=495848754a3911abce2c13f5e4ad42a3&B_PLA_NB_CW_AllProducts_All&AllProducts_All It can be used to protect interior materials of all types... non greasy, oily...natural to the touch.

Thank you! My 4 series coupe has a nasty drivers seat and I’m tired of paying for it to be “detailed” but look like crap after. I have these magic erasers in my house and can’t wait to try it on the a.m.!!

Ok I tried this on a nice set of seats I bought from the junkyard and holy crap the look new again.

Well done! Will try.

Beautiful job!!

This is a great video! I have a quick question though. Would meguiars synthetic spray wax leave a matte finish like the op on 3.0 that you used in the video? Or did it just look matte but has a slight sheen? Thanks so much in advance :)

Thanks again on another informative video. Can you help me clarify some confusion I have: I’ve heard from various detailers that some of the “newer” luxury cars already comes with a factory sealant over the leather- one of which, I was told was on my 2019 Audi A6. Car is always garaged and leather looks brand new, as I usually just maintain it with mild 20:1 Woolite Delicate + water. Should I do a proper leather cleaner, conditioner, sealant now? I know Gyeon and CarPro, for example, have some leather “sealant” now. Sorry, it’s a little confusing hearing different opinions from professional detailers.

great job brian as always

Man I really wish I'd found this video back when I first got my caddy deville. The seats were gross and in attempt to clean them I pulled some dye off the leather. But the good news I bought a caddy seville now and I now know how to fix it.

Just wondering if a soft rotating brush would chase the dark stains out of the seams? Particularly on the thigh supporting area.

Great idea! I’ll try it on my Porsche.

I ran across your videos by accident. We own a Audi Q5 with a leather interior my wife is an ocd/ germaphobe-nut and this looks like the perfect way to clean the interiors hard surfaces after service work has been performed On the vehicle. The one detail that everyone seems to miss and using the Magic Eraser is how you leave it soaking. So i've seen countless others recommend not using the magic eraser on leather. Thanks and we'll see you in the next video.

Hey, great vid so thanks for sharing. QQ. Any chance that magic eraser will work on those grubby seatbelts? If not, what would be your preferred method of getting them as clean as the seats? Thanks again 😃

Found all the rest of the stuff on Amazon pretty cheap too. Can't wait to start on my abused 2006 Audi a4 that I traded my perfectly good running 2003 Stratus for, as soon as it gets out of the shop. Ceramic wax is supposed to be super good for paint too. My seats are way dirtier!

Glad you asked! I didn't buy it because after researching I found it wasn't a true ceramic wax. Instead I purchased something called "Hocossy liquid nanno coating" It was a true ceramic wax and cost around 25 dollars for a 1 ounce bottle. It took 1/3 oz to do the paint on my entire Audi; but those leather seats soaked too much up after doing a small test area. The car is in the shop and the seats are unsealed. I think I might use a cheap Armorall type product on them next time I clean them. The magic eraer worked wonderful by the way! I bought 500 of the cheap ones from China and now use them to clean my entire apartment complex!

Great video! Are there any other product recommendation to substitute QP-ON 3.0? That product is very hard to come by.

What to use to protect the leather after you clean it I seen what you did but I don't know what product to use. So you spray spray night in hot water to start cleaning right and put your water in the bucket with your mr. Clean and little bit of laundry so right?

Nice job! I just watched a leather repair video that would be great to fill in all those cracks. Leather touch up guy channel

Out of curiosity, can you use the QP-ON 3.0 as a replacement for something like a wax coating? Or, do you need the 2.0 underneath first?

Nice clean! What did you use? Thank you!

Hi great vid, my problem with my same colour seat that is just as dirty as yours.. how do you get the dirt out the stitching and piping around the seams....?? They never seem to clean like the seat and stand out like a sore thumb..

Awesome work!! What is in the spray bottle?

Brian..will the products you used in this video remove a leather refinish kit i used on the leather seats of my Miata which turned out to not match the color of the seats? The seats in my miata are leather but the leather is very hard...not soft...will these products soften the seat leather?Exellent video...thank you.

I guess a good cleaning every week or so for maintenance but how often should you apply qp on 3.0?. By the way this was a very informative video, thank you.

Nice job. How does it compare to Mother's VLR? I need to get really thick black stuff of my steering wheel. Got the car 2nd hand and it didn't get cleaned up. Thanks.

Can you use mink oil to protect your leather seats. I use to use it on cowboy boots and saddles and its good stuff.
