Audi RS3 and RS5



  Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Hi,

I have been asked by a friend of my Brothers to have a crack at his Audi RS3 and RS5 in September (Will make sure I do a write up!).

Im confident in what Im doing, the only thing I would like help with though is the interior. They both have leather seats. I have never owned leather seats so never had any reason to know much about how to clean or protect it.

I have been reading up and it appears Zaino do a pretty good leather package. What would you buy? And how do you use it? (Worried about being too aggressive and damaging the seats).

Thanks,
​Ry

^^^what pizza boy said. Or Gliptone. Both very good leather products. Key is not to get the leather soaking, so damp MFs to dust down, the small amount of cleaner with a very soft brush agitating to a foam. Then wipe down with a damp cloth again.

What Captain Tango said ^^^^^

Cheers guys, will have a read of their reviews tomorrow and get one bought.

Re the comment about a soft brush getting it to a foam, I have read using a nail brush is good, but thats obviously quite stiff. Would I be better with a softer bristle then? And this may sound silly, but he has half red half black leather seats. Do I have to tread then differently?

Definitely softer than a nail brush. Something like the soft brush out of a shoe polishing set is ideal. You need very little pressure. And as Andy/Chapppers has said, with quite new cars such as those, I doubt you'll need to get the brush out.

I'd start with an MF in your position mate, but if you need to, use a soft nail brush to agitate then wipe off with an MF.

Good luck!
