Exactly, it is by no means paint safe. Id even be leery using it on wheels.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

Even if you shoot for the moon and miss, you still land among the stars.

These things again work great on plastic panels and dirty leather seats!

For the plastic panels, mix a little bucket of water and a mild Windex solution, for extra cleaning and a pleasant scent. Afterwards, I like to dress with Meguiars Quick Interior detail spray and a microfibre towel.

For the seats, I mix up a spray bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo and water, for cleaning and also to help lubricate so the eraser sponge isn't too abrasive. The baby shampoo is free of alkalines and is very mild, works well on the seats. Wipe down afterwards with a water damp cloth to get off excess soap. Dress with leather conditioner (Lexol fan myself, but I have some Leatherique on the way to try). Afterwards, use Meguiars Quick Interior spray to remove the greasey residue of the leather seats and leave them satin and clean feeling again.

Thank you for suggesting the use of the erasers to begin with! You should see what they did to the seats in my father's Tahoe, they were filthy, bright as new now.

It would seem to me they are too harsh for leather seats?

I personally like the Blue Coral leather and vinyl cleaner to clean, since really our "leather" seats are both. Then I follow up with Meguiar's conditioner. I realize that's two steps, but the quality I have not been able to beat with this process.

Well its not something I would use every week. But every few months or so should be fine. Furthermore, the concoction that Will mentioned above is a fantastic idea and should compliment the use of the erasers very nicely.

I can see where the idea of Windex is fabulous cleaning your entire house, but truthfully, the concept of an ammonia-based product with a dye on leather disturbs me. JMO of course. Once the porous leather pieces absorb that you can pretty much count on a chemical breakdown of the leather over time. Me I kinda' like my nearly-new looking seats at 188K miles. I grew up in the country and no way did we ever put ammonia anything on the horse stuff, so that's what I'm basing my opinion on I guess.

Well I believe you to be on target. As I grew up on a farm of sorts as well and we had horses and I had a saddle to take care of, baled hay, fed the cows and so on. But I highly doubt that our leather seats are any where near genuine leather. That said, Overkills cleaning solution would seem to be the way to go as it avoids those pitfalls.

As well, I also mentioned doing a follow up leather treatment that has mink oil in it that would take care of most of those issues I do believe.

Just a very very mild windex solution is all that's required, like 10:1. And I don't use the Windex solution on the leather, I use the Johnson's Baby Shampoo solution as mentioned.

If you do a mild enough solution with the Johnson's Baby Shampoo, you can use that instead on the door panels, which is what I did today in my car.

It's also good for a clay bar lubricating solution.

Now THAT I did not know. And I was looking for something to use for the claybar rather than a detail spray. Thanks for that tip.
