    took the car out of winter storage, found small round white spots on the black leather in some parts of the interior. thinking it is mold i thought to go out it with a diluted bleach solution, called the F dealer, he said it is nothing just wipe it down with leather conditioner. Any ideas...any suggested leather conditioner , shouldn't I clean the leather first...don't want to do a lot of work and have this come back. I know some will have thoughts about a damp garage and winter storage and rust, my question is about the white spots on the leather.

    While i could guess what those <cough> white spots are... i would use Leatherique Prestine Clean to get them out and clean the leather interior in general.

    Condition the leather first with rejuvinator oil. It floats any dirt, salt from sweat, etc. in the leather's pores to the surface. Then clean it with Prestine clean.

    I would agree it is probably caused by moisture, and may be mold....never seen it on seats, but have on gloves and other leather items. I would be inclinded to take the advice of the dealer, and wipe down with leather conditioner.

    I will third Verell's advice. Leatherique is great stuff!
