Leather cleaner (I use Colourlock), soft bristle (boars hair) brush to get into the perferations, follow with moist warm towel to remove soil/ excess cleaner, blow out perforations with clean compressed air, done. It'll often even restore the French seams back to their original hue. I've removed espresso stains from Platinum leather perf this way. However, If this still isn't successful you then can use a steamer before the moist towel step. Follow up with compressed air...

I have black ventilated seats and I don't have any dark spots, but I do have dirt in some of the holes. I was also wondering what the best way was to clean ventilated seats. I don't want to start smearing a bunch of 'product' into the holes that then wouldn't come out. Is there a factory recommended procedure on how to clean ventilated seats? And not just to clean the holes, but also to condition the leather without plugging up all the holes?

Now I have seen everything. I showed my wife and she actually was surprised to see someone more **** than me. The only thing in that thread I found useful was the post that recommended using Lexol, which is thin and you spray it on a microfiber and wipe the seats. Sorry, cleaning every hole is ridiculous and as another poster said I would also sell my car if that was my only option.

In my opinion this is the best option for ventilated seats. You can spray the whole seat and let it sit for a minute then wipe off with white microfiber towel to see the results. You don't have to worry about clogging the holes. You can just use this product alone since it also has conditioning properties. If you want to add another leather treatment on top you can use Leather Master Protection Cream or Sonax Premium Class Leather Cream on a microfiber applicator and make sure that you spread it first then start on the flat surfaces to spread the product like the back of the seat and head rest, then to the rest of the seat.
