What do you guys use to clean stains/mildew on the leather upholstery of your boats/bikes/atv's? I figure some of you have a go-to cleaner that you swear by. TIA

uh…. saddle soap?
A mild dishwashing soap solution usually works good on many surfaces. rinse or wipe it off with plain water.
uh…..saddle soap? for sure.
I will give to look I have a box full of leather care ( well also shoe care) products I bought a couple years back
to clean and preserve several leather jackets and coats i have had for years based on the leather repare and leather care post on you tube
I wil list later on whst i am using all I have kept have Worked well
Be aware some if not most all leather care products will darken the leather
Tons of how too on YouTube if you care to take a look
Never seen a boat or ATV with leather seats ………………….. fancy
Had horses for years along with all the saddles and gear . Plain old saddle soap is all you need to clean with. Almost all treatments will darken leather to some extent. Check out the Lexol line of products.
I used some saddle soap and it removed some of the mildew but not all of it. Thought some of you might have a "special remedy" or other product that worked.
It is on a Sylvan 8522 Mirage pontoon that, dummy me, I failed to put the cover on it last fall. Under a covered roof at storage, but I simply got too lazy to put it drive the 70 miles to put it back on.
Online searches did not get me anything I felt comfortable with.
