Conditioning grey leather with white stitching

[kingwahwah]

hi new here

picking up a SL350 2008 next week after returning my 2012 C220 to Mercedes (god help me!). The leather needs some love.

My thinking Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, nail brush and microfilter clothes.

But i'm concerned the white stitching will get discoloured.

How do you guys deal with that?

Thanks

I thought the stitching was made of a material that wouldn't discolour.
I'm sure someone more knowledgable will be along to advise.

it should not discolour it, but check in a inconspicuous area first and neither does the bottle mention any such warning on the back.

As mentioned it shouldn't discolour.

As Arzaam has said try an inconspicuous area first.

FWIW I use Gliptone and have never had it discolour stitching on any seats I've done.

You may be better off using a cloth to clean with rather than a nail brush as you don't want to force the cleaning product into the leather. More you want to remove the dirt from it's surface.

Use a soft paint brush it gets into the grain much better.

Thanks. Paint brush trimmed down sounds good.

Picked car up had it a few weeks and its been sunny for top down driving but not polishing or leather work.

It will not get better on its own
