Ideas on cleaning White Stitching ??
Well I knew my white stitching was getting a bit discoloured and now I've just received my leather cubby box material I offered it up and it shows how dirty the old stitching is....

Any ideas on what to use to clean it with ? Thanks :thumbsup:

Might be easier to make the cubby box dirty?
(a mixture of maccydees coffee and crushed Maltesers, rubbed slowly with your arm should do it)

upholstery spot cleaner or those foam fabric cleaner sprays should help, wiping over with a microfibre
then maybe a scotchguard to protect it and make it easier the next time

Cliff, you need to get a full-time job if you've got time to clean the stitching

There was a time, many years ago, when Land Rover forums were about smashing the out of rusted and seized bolts with the biggest hammer you could find.
Now, Landmark owners have reduced it to cleaning the fine white stitching that adorns the leather upholstery of their seats.

Wet ones? Computer screen wipes?
I do not seem to have any problems with my black leather and black stitching but will keep an eye on it in case it's catching. It's clearly a chairborne virus Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:
"What is the first rule when overlanding?"
