The white leather in my 79 Eldorado is getting dingy. Any suggestions for brightening it back? Thanks

Leatherique Pristine Clean is good stuff. PH balanced and not aggressive. Mothers Foaming Wash is also excellent and specifically for leather. A little stronger too if you need that. Technique is just as important as the cleaning product. For cleaning leather I've found by using a small soft round brush and working up A lather with circular motions provides best results. Work in small sections. For your Eldo I would divide the seat bottom and back into 4 equal sections each. That's eight areas you will clean for one seat Not counting the sides or backs. Small areas give more uniform
Results which harder to achieve with the lighter colored leathers. If you can't find a round brush a paint brush cut short /down to give it some stiffness but still soft with some give works well.
