Whats the best leather cleaner.
Whats the best leather cleaner.
Hello..can anyone recommend a great leather cleaner?..Im looking for something that will clean my leather and get inside all the cracks and a good conditioner.. Currently im useing Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Care..i find it conditions good and leaves a nice sheen but doesn't clean very well and the spray nozzle is just awful. Any reply's are greatly appreciated. thanks
u should get an interior brush to help get the dirt up. They are about 5 bucks and most auto stores sell em. I like the Meguairs aloe cleaner and conditioner. Its a 2 step process and works quite well.

A 'one-step' product has the challenge of packing conditioning and cleaning agents into one bottle. While this is a-o-k for the average user that already has nearly perfect leather, it's not as good for those of us that are ultra-picky or those of us who need some cleaning kick.
I use the Meguiar's Rich Leather Aloe 2-Step system quite a bit and have had some good luck with it in the past. For severely 'ground in' grime and crud, you may have to take it up a step to something that's a bit more agressive like a Baby Wash or similar. I wouldn't get too much more aggressive than that but, it has pulled some ground in stuff out that the Meg's blue (cleaner in the two step) wouldn't get.
So, in summary, for maintenance, a one step product may be just fine for most. For the tougher stuff, you may need to go to a specific cleaner...
Sidenote... I've been experimenting with Four Star Leather Cleaner and Four Star Leather Conditioner... I've REALLY liked what I've seen thus far from these two products but, I'd have to be honest and say that I haven't had the guts to try them on my King Ranch interior... just the wifey's Explorer and a Toyota Camary that I worked on about a month ago. Honestly, the 'cleaner' was probaby the best leather cleaner that I've used to date...

I use Tanner's Preserve cleaner & conditioner. I have the Flint Leather and it does a good job.

Indeed, I was unable to find it anywhere except online. The last batch I ordered was from an online Ace Hardware store.

Is there any product that will "tighten up" worn, mildly stretched out leather? Seats that have been sat in (SHOCKING!)? Somewhere in my mildly functional brain I seem to remember there being such a product, or some way to do this, but can't remember. Am I right, or am I just completely on crack?
