I need someone's help here. I tried to use those Armour All Leather Wipes on my Auburn Color leather seats and it has left a white haze on the seats. I've tried cleaning the seats with Zymol Leather Conditioner, warm soapy water and it appears to help but after a while the white haze comes back. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated.  |

I'm not sure what the white haze could be- either a residue of some kind from the armour all or possibly a discoloration of the leather itself? In any case, I use the BMW leather cleaner/conditioner, which actually works quite well. I would recommend picking up a bottle of that at your local performance center and see if that helps, and if it doesn't, I would complain to armour all that they ruined your seats!

Your leather is clear coated from the factory and the white haze is from the oils in Armour All coming back to the surface.......I use Woolite mixed 10/1 with water to Woolite as a leather cleaner...It will not stain the color on the leather or damage it in any way....I spray on the seats and with a soft plastic brush use on the real dirty areas then wipe clean....Let that dry for 15 minutes then apply a good leather conditioner...My preference is Poorboys World leather stuff..(link below)

I believe Armor-All leather products contain some silicone in suspension. This is probably what is percolating back up out of the leather. A couple of tips:
1. Throw out all Armor-All products.
2. Follow dboy11's advice of water:Woolite 10:1 to clean the leather.
3. Throw out all Armor-All products.
4. Follow dboy11's advice of using a leather conditioner. I use the Leatherique cleaning/conditioning products.
5. If you haven't done so already, throw out all Armor-All products. 
I don't like Armor-All (big surprise); I know too many people who've messed up the interiors of their cars with that slime.

The Leatherique line up is great I have that as well....it can be labor intensive to use but the results are worth it...I'm going to be pulling the two front seats out of my 99--540 to re-stuff the foam inside then use the Leatherique process to bring them back to new again....I won't need to dye them just clean and condition

Excellent feedback! I will definitely begin the Woolite 10:1 dilution and clean the seats. Prior to this happening, I was using Zymol Leather Conditioner and it seems to do a nice job. Is Zymol out?
Immediately following this procedure, I am throwing awayALL Armour All Products!
