Leatherique Leather Care & Preservation Set - 32 oz

This was nice! I got a used vehicle with leather seats so they needed a little rehab. It’s relatively expensive but is about the best I’ve used. It doesn’t have much smell. It was pretty easy to use. It takes time but not difficult. It didn’t leak and is great quality. My seats look great and are more comfortable than ever.

I used this on seats in my 2014 Mustang (GT500, non-recaro) - the product sat overnight and through 2 hot Florida afternoons. It changed my leather from stiff, discolored, and creased to a supple, clean, and relatively smooth appearance and feel. It cleaned the white part of my seats to a nice and new bright white, and took the brown crud in the leather grain out of both the white and black parts of the seat. It didn't damage or discolor the alcantara inserts. It also worked really well on my automatic shifter and my steering wheel - everything is now a clean, supple, matte finish. Take care to clean off the product and let it sit for a sufficient time before sititing in the seats, it felt a little tacky for a few hours after the last step. Very happy with this product!!

I used this on the leather seats in my ten-year old convertible. Worked it in and covered the seats with garbage bags and parked it in the sun. I used the second solution the next day and my black seats feel more pliable and look 100% better. I cleaned discoloration from an old spill on one seat with Car Guys Super cleaner before using Leatherique. That worked and came out nice. The second day is amazing, you won't believe how much dirt in in your leather. Have plenty of microfiber towels to wipe it off. Great product for my needs. Blows away all other leather cleaners and conditioners that I've tried in 30 years.

This is doing more to soften my hardened, dry leather seats than all of the other products I have tried combined.

I treated two types of automotive leather. The first was the semi-analine leather in an eight year old BMW M3. This leather has a fairly light urethane coating and therefore the leather rejuvinator was easily absorbed after two days of sitting in 90 degree weather. I applied the pristine clean and it cleaned up really well. The seats are significantly softer to the touch, matte finished and the leather feels really healthy. A+ for texture. I will caution you that on my light blue-silver leather, the leather now seems a shade darker. Second, and more as an experiment, I treated the totally neglected, bonded leather in my 15 year old Nissan Maxima. This leather has a very thick urethane coating, therefore I had to leave the treatment on for 3-4 days before removing it. To be frank, the results were mixed. This was partly due to the leather being of inconsistent condition and grain throughout the various panels. For really dry panels, the difference was negligible and would require multiple treatments. For the softer areas, the results were pretty good. Across the board, the shine was removed from the leather and a factory matte finish resulted. My observation is that if you have mid to high-end leather to treat, this will return the best results I have ever seen. For the more typical heavily coated automotive leather, this may not be worth the time or money.

Leatheroaue is my favorite leather conditioner and cleaner. Fantastic for older cars - this product can rescue dried out leather. Be sure to read instructions carefully (and maybe read a few other guides online) for best results. I prefer to use a heat gun with the leather rejuvinator instead of leaving the car out on the sun all day, but YMMV.

Be careful on cheap leather. 2011 Grand Cherokee with the upgrade leather doesn’t hold up. Using this cleaner pulled the dirt out along with the color. I have used this 3 other times and had no problems. The Jeep has 123k miles 7years old and now the cheap dye process has started to fail and this made the process accelerate. Photos show that the leather with little contact looks great. That said. It works great on real, high quality leather.

This leather rejuvenator worked really well for me. It took some time, to take effect, but it really restored my water damaged car seats. My project: 2009 BMW with optional 'Dakota' leather that was in pristine condition before.... The windows and sunroof were left wide open in an all-night rain. Not just a little wet, SOAKING inch-of-water on the floorborads kind of catastrophe. The leather was totally waterlogged, swollen and mushy, then shrank when it dried so the seat bottoms were hard and cardboard-like. For a couple-weeks I tried daily applications of mainstream leather treatment, with no effect. Then got over the shockingly high price and bought Leatherique rejuvenator/pristine. The stuff is nasty and sticky. Hard to wash off your hands. I applied it only to the seat bottoms initially and left the car in the garage for a few days (June in Houston, so quite warm). After cleaning with the leatherique cleaner, I noticed that the surface texture was a little better, but the leather was still mostly shrunken. I read somewhere that leather like this is sealed on the surface, so I didn't expect instant results, but it looked like the oils were getting into the leather (there has to be some surface permeability or the water wouldn't have soaked it, right?). I did two more multi-day applications over the next couple weeks and saw incremental improvements each time, but it took several more weeks for the shrinking to gradually relax. I assume this was because of the oils slowly diffusing through the leather. During this time, I also treated the shift boot and parking brake boot. The parking brake boot looked fine, but was always stiff and felt paper-like (in the 2 years I have had the car anyway). Since the shift boot and parking brake aren't really ever touched, I just left the oil on them for the last few weeks, and both have shown a remarkable improvement. I don't think they are the same quality leather as the seats, but both are feeling much more supple now, without a feeling of papery-crispness.
