Oh - I thought you were singing its praises, used with the magic sponge. Must have misunderstood.

Sure I used it with the sponge, but the sponge did the work. Zymol on its own removed nada.

Been using JML Magic for abit now in the house but never thought of using it on leather. I use an old dovet cover on drivers seat when going to and from work. Last thing I want on the seats is dirty grease and crap.

I have now tried this on my red leather. It certainly cleans effectively but definitely takes a small amount of the surface off as the sponge turns slightly red. This results in darker colours appearing to reduce in colour depth. It looks kind of faded if that makes sense? Undeterred, I then applied a helping of AG Leather Balm which resolved the faded effect but makes the leather look a bit shiny.
