Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner kit

[Rick72]

My kit arrived. Both products are fantastic with quick cleaning and a great finish with the Leather Conditioner.  The only thing i don't like is how much product the applicator sucks up but this is no big deal, the hex grip may be a better option for application of the leather conditoner because of the glued membrane.

Now let's talk about the towels...the all purpose towels. They are fantastic! The only question will be durability. I do wish these could be purchased in greater quantity with a discount. These may be giving my high end german made general purpose towels some competition and I LOVE the german towels.

Great job!

Glad to hear you like it Rick, if you don't want the conditioner to get as soaked up, try application with the MF applicators, I've found I use less product this way.

I agree. Just wanted to try the red applicators that came with the kit. I love the size of them and the ability to get into crevices and tight spots.

Don't sweat how much product you use.  After you've cleaned your seats, they'll soak up the conditioner and you might notice streaking and a non uniform look. Don't worry.  That just means that your seats are soaking up the product at a different rate because it's drier in some areas than others.  Reapply and wipe until you get a uniform look on all your seats.  Once they're treated well and even in appearance you won't need to reapply for about 3 or 4 months depending on how hot your part of the world is. I apply more in the  summer to keep my dash, shift boot, doors, and seats pliable.  And when I'm ready to store my car for the winter, I hand apply the conditioner and don't wipe it off till spring when I uncover her.  And I use either the red UFO looking pads or a blue microfiber cloth to apply.

Not at all blotchy or streaky. Seats were super clean to begin with. I started on the passenger seat first, I will try to do a 50/50 on the driver seat if time allows.  I put the UFO applicator in sandwich bag and will keep that applicator dedicated for Leather Conditioner only. I don't see then need to clean it as long as it doesn't  dry out.  Once the bottle of Cleaner hits the 50% mark I will add distilled water.

Very pleased. My guess is I won't be able to go 3 or 4 months before I reapply the Conditioner. I have a pretty solid OCD thing going on with weekly maintenance.  I am either washing, cleaning door jambs, Floor Mats, Quick Vac or cleaning the glass or doing an interior wipe down. Not all at the same time ... one of these things takes place on a weekly basis.

Just FYI........the conditioner has cleaning agents in it too, so go easy on the regular cleaner. You don't need to use the cleaner every time or you'll dry them out.  I use it once a year. Don't be afraid to use the conditioner on your dash too because it has a great SPF factor to protect from sun damage.

This is good to know on the cleaning agents. I am not a big fan of this... Conditioner should condition, Sealants should seal cleaning should be left to the Cleaners!

Thanks for the heads up!

In my experience most "conditioners" do have a light cleaning agent to them. If the seats aren't bad, for in between maintenance you could always give them a wipedown with Total Interior Detailer, or my personal favorite, Detail Spray with an ounce of Rinseless added (1 ounce to a full bottle of DS), then after dry, apply your Conditioner for protection.

You mean Adams (paint) Detail spray ? How in the heck did you come up with this idea ?

[Ricky Bobby]

I like the smell of Detail Spray better than TID, and Rinseless has more cleaning agent than Detail Spray alone.

 

Try doing wipedowns with Detail Spray alone first, before you mix in the Rinseless.  You may find you get the cleaning action you need out of just Detail Spray.

Best way for me to apply the leather conditioner is by hand. I rub it on the seats and trim exactly like if you're using a cream on your skin. After that i wipe with a microfiber towel
