Anyone have suggestions on keeping the orange leather looking clean and new? I've got some stains on my seat.

ya trade them for my plain black leather seats....that will take care of the staining...

Seriously I just use Lexol Leather cleaner and Lexol Leather protector and if I have a really bad spot I use some Dr Martins Wonderbalm.. seems to clean really well.

I've tried quite a few cleaners. So far, I've had the best luck with Zaino's leather cleaner.

It's available at www.zainostore.com

I know this is an old thread, but...

I have tried just about everything on my Snap seeats, and they still look like crap. They're very dark and dingy... The lady who had this car before me obviously didn't take care of the interior...

Any new ideas on how to help restore these seats to "almost new" without actually getting the orange panels replaced?

I have a Snap Orange, and I use the Zymol Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner. Works great, smells pretty good.

I used to use the stuff from Vw, also worked pretty good.

You might want to try Zanio, it works pretty good too.

Good luck with the stains!

I did use the Cleaner and lotion from VW the other day and it seemed to work pretty well. Not perfect, but it's also 5 yrs old at this point.
