I have the leather glove pouch for a trans am I actually got out of a junk yard because my gta one was ripped up. I was wondering if there's anything I could wipe it down with to make it look brand new.


Here's the pouch, not the gta version but close enough for free haha

For an "over the counter" solution, Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner works pretty well. Work the cleaner in with a horse hair brush or one of those yellow leather brushes. It may take a couple applications to get it perfect. Wipe off with a microfiber. Then apply the conditioner with a microfiber applicator.

Another product that gets talked about a lot but I have no personal experience with is Leatherique. It can restore uncoated leather to a brand new look and finish.

That says it's for vinyl and tires. I would not use that to clean/recondition leather.

Betcha a donut that isn't even leather anyway. Why I'd be very surprised if that weren't genuine pelts of the Nauga.

Ive used it on leather, pleather, vinyl, rubber and a few others. It works and I haven't had it harm anything.

Being a synthetic, you could probably massage plutonium into it with a microfiber cloth, and it'd be ok.

And just where do you think those Corinthians harvest that leather? From genuine Nauga hides.

Give it a good cleaning with soap and water and a dressing of your choice. If you're happy, great. If not, things get more involved.

Yea I'm going to try to wash it real good and then idk maybe try one of the suggestions on here. I mean it couldn't hurt to try them.


This is what the old gta one looks like

In all seriousness, any Armor All type product is probably fine. I wouldn't use it on leather, but it's not really leather.

Just kill a cow for the leather and eat steak everyday!!!

I'll throw my two cents into the ring... I help a buddy fix and flip wrecked GM tucks and we see quite a few that have seats that need some help. I use Meguiar's Gold, but have also used Lexol I picked up at a tack shop too. Lexol is used on saddles and in the equine industry and can be found at farm stores.

My process is to wipe the item down with leather cleaner and then I soak it with the conditioner. You want it to be wet with the stuff and I use a microfiber pad to really rub it in. You also want to make sure the leather is warm too. Sit it under a heat lamp, use a hair dryer, or set it in the sun. I let it sit for an hour or so, adding conditioner when needed, and then wipe off all the extra when it looks that the leather isn't sucking up the conditioner anymore. Let it dry and repeat the conditioner if needed.

This process works well on convertible tops too.

So I actually bought some armor all, and sprayed it over the surface and worked it in circles with a soft bristled tooth brush and then wiped it down with a micro fiber rag and it came out actually pretty nice There's the trans am one I cleaned that will be going on my gta.

I've heard saddle soap works very well
