Ha Ha, im a lorry driver and when i first started at it, an old boy said to me be careful as a little bit of fifth wheel grease goes a LONG LONG way, sure enough he was right, i have had cars with leather interiors for the last 25 years, my mates think im kinky lol, but at least if you get it on the seats you can wipe it off with a baby wipe

Well, you learn something new every day on here. I now know what a lorry's 5th wheel is! ( just googled it to find out.).

I recently deep-cleaned the Leopardmobile 2 interior with a rug doctor. This was augmented by some soapy water.

Default Vanish

I normally use Vanish. I have a bar of it in the car for such things.
Drop of water on a clean cloth soap the cloth and it really helps to rub one out. Works every time
