- 1). Remove dirt from your leather. Wipe the leather coat with a damp and clean sponge dipped in lukewarm water. Remove any water residue with a cloth diaper or old T-shirt. If any surface stains or dirt remain, mix 2 tbsp of liquid laundry detergent with 1 cup of cold or lukewarm water. Apply the sudsy mixture to the leather jacket with a sponge. Remove the soap residue with an old T-shirt dipped in lukewarm or cold water.
- 2). Cover any scuff marks with cream polish. For jackets made with smooth and finished leather, rub a cream polish into the leather coat. Use a shade of polish that is an exact match to the coloring of the leather coats. For lightly-colored jackets, rub a neutral-colored paste cream polish in to the leather, with a small piece of cheesecloth or a baby diaper.
- 3). Use a dry clean cloth to clean unfinished leather. If sponged with warm or cold water, untreated leather will spot. For stubborn stains or deep scuff marks, rub any visible marks gently with a small square of ultra-fine sandpaper.
- 4). Moisturize your leather jacket. To restore lost lubricants, treat the jacket with a commercial liquid leather cleaner.
- 5). Add gloss to your leather jacket with a leather cloth that is pre-moistened. To add additional shine rub a paste made with silicone or mink oil into the garment. Use a baby diaper or old cloth rag to apply these products to your leather coat. Buff your leather jacket with a clean dry cloth to generate additional shine.
