Cleaning Oyster Leather
Oyster leather makes the inside of my car a great place to be, it's light and feels airy. However, the downside is that it does get dirty very quickly
I've done a good job so far of maintaining the sparkling effect, but there are some patches of darkness that are refusing to go. I've used some amazing special stuff that the BMW Business Manager gave me for free which produces a foam and some Autoglym leather cleaner, nothing seems to do the trick. Denim marks in particular are a pain to remove. Any advice? What do people on here use to keep the Oyster leather in tip top condition?

To be honest when I had a beige leather interior, when I wore dark denim I put a seat cover on. You can clean the leather, but you will end up making it look prematurely tired plus the denim dye won't ever be fully removed....

No issue with denim at all so far strangely.

Yes same here. My 520d went back last week with just over 20k on the clock and the leather was like new, and that was with a West Highland Terrier running about in the back! Same as Piers, I also used the wipes plus the BMW leather cleaner every 3 months

Get some "liquid leather" cleaner and a soft nailbrush, I have oyster and this keeps it and the stitching very clean. And no new jeans!!! Feed with autoglym leather care after (it's crap at cleaning good at nourishing) and you'll be amazed. You will remove a lot of the deposits shall we say. Good luck!

3M wipes have been a success.
I tried them on the Leather Suite first - Wife was very impressed with the finish.

Car went in today for some warranty work(rattling on passenger side centre pillar), I mentioned the dark marks on the seat to the dealer. End result is that BMW don't mess about, new seat ordered

Dr. Leather works a treat. Was recommended to me by a professional detailer.
