- This video is for a subscriber of my channel. He asked about cleaning perforated leather seats and how the approach might be different. Great Question! Be sure to apply Lather Interior Cleanser to to the BRUSH, and not spray directly cleaner directly on the perforations. Afterwards, quickly vacuum or turn on the ventilated seats (if equipped) -L

Good tip, just got a car with heated and cooled seats. I think I'll run a vacuum over it afterward whether I think it needs it or not but will also put a micro fiber cloth over the opening of the vacuum attachment. I'm sure it will still have enough suction to vacuum through the micro fiber; just for a little added scratch proof protection. Thanks for your informative videos! Have a good summer:)
Thank you for posting this!!! I've been searching forever now for specifically the cleaning of perforated leather seats and have had no luck till now. You are awesome!!
Larry makes it all seem so effortless, he's just a guru when it comes to making vehicles look amazing. Following his videos, it's just crazy as to how the majority of his tips are just common sense and taking extra care when handling areas of the vehicle. Thanks Larry!
I bought two bushes from AMMO's online store and started using them this week. They are absolutely splendid and make treating leather a lot easier and effective! Thank you again Larry for these videos and great products.
Using a brush, cleaner and vacuum didn't work for me on getting out little bits of food in the holes. Right or wrong, I had to use compressed air and it worked perfectly. Night and day difference. Keep up the good work and videos.
Put some masking tape on the end of your vacuum cleaner to soften up the plastic edges. Love your vids
i use cut out felt or microfiber cloth
@@TEXpanteraAS You can also sand the end of the vacuum cleaner too.
That's actually a great idea. Thank you.
Great tip
Or Tesa tape
If you have a quite strong vacuum, you could always wrap a microfiber towel or cloth over the noozle to protect the seat. It will diminish the power, but most common cleaners should still be good enough to get any left over foam out of the perforations.
I just got a car with these types of seats and I was worried about my existing leather cleaning system. This video sold me on AMMO NYC! I just placed my order.
So much better when the videos are shorter. When the footage is stretched over 20 or so minuets I don't even bother watching. Nice work.
Short, simple and accurate. Thanks for a great and informative video.
Mate - you are a star. I have an old (but beautiful) 2001 7 series with white leather seats and have always been nervous about cleaning them. Your videos are marvellous. Thank you so much. If I had the money, I would fly you to London so you could do my car once a month. !
If moisture/liqued would happen to get past the perforations in the leather, could this damage the heated seats?
Larry if possible, I would like to request a video showing how you detail the cracks and crevices of the exterior of a vehicle. What products, tools and methods you use to clean the panel seems, door jams, etc.
After watching the Honda Accord video I'm like, "what about perforated seats"... then bam, I find this video.
Thank goodness I came across this to know how to clean my seats! I spilled coffee on my seat and the whip cream went into the holes... I'm going to try this!
This guy is a beast thanks for the videos bro
The majority of cars with "air conditioned" seats are actually ventilated meaning that the internal fans within the seat are actually sucking in air versus blowing out from the perforated leather. Hence the vacuum technique is most likely the best and safest way to remove excess moisture versus turning the seat's ventilation/heating system on full blast.
Binhtri Vu
Thanks! My girlfriend's new car has perforated leather seats and I was wondering how to tackle them. This video answered the question perfectly.
I have been watching your videos over the last few weeks and I must confess to be inspired by your advice. I now know how I can improve my cleaning techniques for my CLS500, Have purchased my da polisher, dual buckets, good supply of micro fibre clothes, I only wished I could buy your products here in the UK. Thanks again and I look forward to the forthcoming videos.
Thank you! I have A/C perforated seats in my Nissan and wanted to get my car detailed but was scared about how they would clean the seats. Now I know what to ask about.
Very nice of you Larry to take time out to make videos for specific queries that people have, top work there. :)
Sitting here with my mom's lincoln with perforated seats like hmm how tf do I clean these. You sir are the best
You are CRAZY talented! I'm so jealous! Its no wonder all of those people with the Ferrari's Porsche's the Mclearen MP4-12C trust you so much. Keep up the great work! Huge fan!
I'm gonna try this. I've always used high pressure air in one hand to dry and blast while having a damp micro fibre with cleaner on it in the other.
Observation. Caution with vacuum tips. Mine has some ruff edges where it hit the group and it can scratch your seat when you are going up and down with the vacuum tip.
I sand my vacuum tips to avoid this.
Thank you for posting this! I needed it for my Audi S5. I'm glad I didn't 'try' something that might have caused damage before finding this video.
Thx bud. Will do!
AMMO NYC hey Larry, I recently had someone throw up(gross) in my back seat and some of the vomit actually got into the perforated section of the seat. What would you suggest I do to get that out?
Something to keep in mind: I heard that high heat deforms wet leather, I doubt the but warmer would make a difference though.
It does. My seats in my new dodge ram Laramie with black perforated seats. Used my heatedsears last night after the leather seats were basically 99% dry n now I have a little bit of ripple..I'm pissed
Deadly video. I currently own a 2016 Subaru STI Sport Tech and the only issue I've had detailing it was the perforated leather. Great video man...keep 'em coming. Subscribed.
First off, I want to thank you for all the knowledge that you have given to me and the viewers.
But I am very curious about how you would clean non leather seats and alcantara. I would really appreciate it if you would make a video about it.
I'm going to have to try some of these. My son just threw up in my new car, and these little perforations are very frustrating to clean.
he actually sells them from his website you can buy the lather interior cleanser in their too
the brush is like $19.00
I wish I could go back in time and clean the leather seats of my uncles' early 80s Mercedes. The amount of dirt that built up in the perforations was ridiculous.
It was a good video. I run the heat and air in my Challenger before I even start to insure the holes and leather cant absorb anything. Would like to see you take it to the step removing butt-shine from the surface. I can see how the rear seat has the nicer patina for lack of a better word. Any tips from other viewers are appreciated too!
Big thanks to you Larry for making this video to answer my question. Great tip as always. :)
Use a heat gun but do not keep the nozzle to close. Use a sweeping back and forth motion, use a clean rag to rub the area you want to smooth out.
Hey Larry you are a true professional and have a lot knowledge in automotive reconditioning. I would love to see more videos for working interiors. Hopefully you show us that video you said in the motor home and trailer detail about making designs on carpets
To be fair that only requires a snowfoam or some sort of APC to a suitable dilution ration - and some detailing brushes. Not hard one to fathom out :)
You should Tape the metal on the brush prevent from scratching the leather
Great Video👌🏻 You know, it might be interesting for you to make a video of detailing seat belts, since they do get quite filthy.
Thank you so much. I didn't want to screw up the leather seats in my Audi Q7 and didn't know how to clean them carefully.
Larry is amazing.
I was going to ask how I could clean my Volvo with these type of seats.. THANK YOU for the video
Powder free nitrile gloves. They come in various colours. Larry seems to like black, probably to be consistent with his branding.
I have started using gloves since I have been watching Larry's vids.
On his website he lists the items he has used in the vids, one of those item is usually powder free nitrile gloves. Have a look around for a online retailer.
If you get a good quality brand they seem to rip less and fit bretter. I hope this helps.
I wonder if turning on the AC in seats then clean it the way you are as air is coming up might make it the best way? Curious.
Perfect video Larry, I have the same type of leather seats and this is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Your the best.
I'm pretty sure he has, look at his previous posts here on his personal videos or look up Drive Clean which is a series he did for Drive.
Hi Larry!
Could you possibly make a video showing the best way to clean fabric interior?
Woah I thought that was my own comment from long ago.
kirbyswarp i see, a fellow polestar enthusiast? :)
abger saurus More of a Saab enthusiast, but yeah, I love them a lot :)
kirbyswarp Wooohoooo! More Volvo enthusiasts! Love mine.
Try to make 2 or 1 videos per week, your videos are very helpful and interesting.
Thank you for this video!! Just got a car with dirty indentations in the leather.
Thank you, Larry!
More specifically, what if a few of the little perforations are PLUGGED UP. So that normal cleaning does not UNPLUG the hole.
:)
hi froggy. I'm also here trying to clean my is300. :)
Thanks i have been searching for this answer for months!
Larry, Great work as usual please keep them coming as they are fascinating and incredibly well done.
hey larry can you do a whole video of the entire process from claying, polishing, waxing, sealing and all that to a car that has swirl marks and turning into a show car
thanks
Beautiful interior colour..!
Can this product clean a cologne spill on leather car seats
Very helpful! Thank you!! 👏🏽
...or put a piece of terry cloth or micro fiber between the attachment and leather when vacuuming. I'm sure someone has said this already.
Thanks heaps for the video larry! Answered my question perfectly. I guess with the leather conditioner you'd then apply to a rag, wipe onto the solid leather area, and then using the same rag (without adding any more conditioner) wipe over the perforated areas?
exactly what i needed to know. answered my question and was an informative video. thanks#
Can you show a video of cleaning fabric seats? If you haven't already, thanks.
hi could you do a video on how to repair perforated leather seats ?
Thanks in advance
Love the videos. Was wondering how you would go about cleaning perforated leather, like in this video, that has taken some of the dye from shirts and jeans. Would appreciate a video on that if you have time.
Can you show sometime a video of cleaning a dirty steering wheel? And how to get those scuffmarks from your shoes that goes on the inside of the door and doorsill (from stepping in and out. Cheers from Sweden and keep up the good work! :)
All great tips Larry, well done. Please do one on alcantara. Cheers.
old glazed over leather interior I like to use Scrubbing Bubbles Magic Eraser in a horse hair brush and a old damp cotton t-shirt.
When do you know if you have water stains? Can they also be treated with this method?
next time you detail a 7 year old Lexus 460 sel with light cream leather film it and post the results 👍
Wouldnt the quality of the leather matter? My 09 Escalade uses a sorry excuse for "leather" which has cracked and when cleaned, the top layer peels off and fades even more. My '14 328i and 740Li have much better quality leather and overall materials and his methods work very well with cars that use "true" leather.
what if there is mud smashed down into the holes? like if it needs a really good cleaning?
Cold air doesn’t come out through the holes. There is a fan that suck it in.
What would you do if you spilled a bottle of white into perforated seats??
Now how would you clean cloth seats properly? Great bids
A question: How would I clean Alcantara heated/ventilated seats? Thanks.
Would it be advantageous to turn on the heated seat first to help the cleaner work? Or is it not warm enough to really help?
Also being careful to not let any dirty lather dry on the seats (may dry faster with the seats heated)
I watched you video on cleaning perforated seats. It was great. What is a good cleaner to use? Also, what about a conditioner/softener?
+AMMO NYC how about leather conditioners, how do you apply those and keep from clogging the perforation?
moiziz apply directly into the foam or microfiber applicator and spread it that way.
use coconut milk conditioning works really good on leather seats
What about for when it’s really dirty ? How will you clean it then
ok but what about the food crumbs that get stuck in the holes ??vacuuming doesn't seem to pull them out
Always enjoy the videos when you upload, also love the sweatshirts you have!
Could you pleas do a video on cloth interior cleaning? LOVE your videos!
Thank you Larry!
My Escape has heated/ ventilated seats
Can you just spray a microfiber towel and wipe instead of using a brush?
I was thinking the same thing but I'm guessing because this seat wasn't that dirty and only had "common dirt" there was no need. Remember what he said about assessing the situation.
Larry, any advice / video / tips on cleaning fabric seats? Most often you see a wet extractor or something being used but as a hobbyist, most people don't have such a device. So any tips on that as well, to get fabric seats as clean and spotless as possible without specialty devices?
Larry, how would you go about actually protecting perforated leather seats?
If I wanted to apply a conditioner or protectant to my perforated leather, how would I do so without clogging the pores?
My wife has the telluride with the perforated seats and my dog threw up. Now in the seats there are white spots with the dog throw up that dried up. How would you clean that?
Thanks for posting this video, great work and clear demonstration. i am not sure if this is asking too much but my brand new car, with heated, cooled seats, a convertible has some bird-poop that has dried up by the time i noticed it. It has filled the tiny holes in the seats. Any chance you could help me out, pls.
Is that AMMO Lather that you're spraying into the brush? It looks a little watery. Should I be diluting the AMMO lather? Been using it straight from the black bottle (into the brush of course) with the sprayer that was included...
An Alcantara cleaning video would be amazing!
Thanks for another great lesson!!
That color combo got me feeling some type of way!
Another great video.
Thank you so much 😊
Totally agree with your methods on all things car-cleaning related so far, except one.......... Being a "Porsche Person" you should know that the ventilated seats in our cars don't push air out the holes like some seats do. Instead they draw in air away from the skin. So it's probably not advisable to use the seat ventilation system in these particular vehicles, because the cost of replacing those suckers is not as cheap as one might think. But I can see where you were coming from.
love the paint brush idea. thanks
I have long hair and my hair is stuck in the holes in the back of the seat. would i use the same method?
Hey Larry my car leather seat come off and i want apply some glue . What is the glue should use ? thank you
the same one that you are currently sniffing
LOL
I asked the same question, thanks!
I bought a brand new 2023 Honda with leather seats last month. How often should I apply any cleaner or "conditioner"? Any tips? Thanks.
