Leather cleaning and conditioning

[akeohan]

So I want to clean and condition the leather portion of my seats but don't want to get anything on the fabric. How would you tap or mask off the fabric? I was thinking painters tap?:shrug:

If you need tape or anything close you are using too much product. Use a wax applicator pad (terry or micro) and apply conditioner/cleaner to the pad, rub it into the leather carefully when doing the edges. I have never had an issue with it getting on the center portions.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Never apply the conditioner to the seat, apply to a microfiber and then apply to the seat. Take your time and you won't get any on the suede.

Thanks guys, never had leather before and didn't want to get that Alcantera stained. Let the fun begin!!

Buy this stuff if you didn't already get some.

My seats were never bad but they were showing some wear. Everytime I would go see my car when I was home I'd apply a coat or 2 of this stuff. Legit, my seats look completely different! Looks like they have 5k on em lol. I'm so happy with it and only cost me $6.

Those are pretty for OTC products, be sure to use separate cloths for applying and cleaning.

Do you have any commercial recommendations? I'm open to use the better products like Adams but I didn't know if his stuff was that much better?

Anyone used that Zymol line of products that AM is selling?

 

[akeohan]

i ended up getting some of that Zaino Z-10 Leather in a Bottle stuff and i think it worked "OK". I'v put two or three cots on and i think its made a small difference but not near what i was hoping or hyped into thinking. I don't think its a bad product but its not magical as the marketing would have it seem.

I use the Leather Dr products and methods. You can find a lot of info here about leather care and restoration. If you become interested in his products you need to email him for the info and pricing.
