Dog Drool on Leather

Ok, hypothetically speaking, lets say one has 2 bulldogs who love to go for rides, and LOVE to drool all over ones nice leather seats. What would one use to clean up the goo?

Any good leather cleaner/conditioner. Prima just released one but I haven't ttried it yet. I usually use Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Conditoner. Try to wipe it off as soon as you can - it's harder to get off when it's baked-on.

I have this stuff called "Leather CPR" that I got as a stocking stuffer last xmas. This stuff is amazing! Gets out all of the dirt and leaves the leather looking like new, not overly shiny and leaves no residue.

I don't think the Prima stuff is out yet...atleast it isn't on the website yet, and I think Heather said a month or two left until it hits the shelves.

Thanks for the suggestion both of ya's, I hope that when I get to it (July 28th) it won't be too late to do any real help. (Not my car, but I did send the owner the clean it off quick (atleast with water or heavily diluted Woolite).

I've used both the Zaino leather products in the past. They have a cleaner and a conditioner. They both smell great and do a very fine job. They would be my recommendation until DP releases their new product.

I would just use some Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer or in their pro line--All Purpose Cleaner Plus to clean it up, then apply a dressing if needed.

For leather, I've got Vanson's leather care (got it with my motorcycle leathers) the two-part Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner, Connolly Hide Food, Griot's Leather Care, and the two-part Leatherique rejuvenator/cleaner. They're all effective, but each one has its drawbacks.

But once when I was on the road away from all of my detailing supplies, I had a leather emergency that required quick attention, so I stopped in the nearest auto parts store and got some Armor All leather conditioner. I hate to admit it, but that stuff works great! It's inexpensive, spreads easily, smells good, doesn't gunk up the seams, and leaves the leather soft with just the right finish.

Here's another that readily availible- zymol cleaner/conditioner. It's two seperate products-works good, smells good not too bad on the residue. I have an older Benz and I used this to clean up the seats with (bought the car used) and it worked very well.
