Default Using the Leatherique Products

So, let me see if i've got this right. You use the Rejuvvinating Oil and then the Pristine clean?? How do you do your application??

Thanks,
Heath

vac seats.

Apply RO very thick. I spray it on and work it in by hand with gloves.

For best results let the car sit out in the sun for a day, the hotter the better. You can reapply the RO when it gets sucked into the leather if you like.

Apply PC to one section at a time, I also spray it on and work it in by hand.

I then have a cotton hand towel, that I dip in a bucket of warm water. I wring it out and wipe the area, flipping the towel till I see no more dirt on the towel.

Spray PC on the next area and repeat.

PC in this case = Protection Cream, not the buffer

Before using a leather care product a detailer needs to know the material they are working on, and wither the product chosen is compatible with the material and will not damage it. Diagnosis is the key, not guess work. Before deciding on what products to use you need to ascertain what type of leather finish you have and wither the pigmented leather has a polyurethane covering, or is (un-coated) finished natural leather, as the cleaning / maintenance varies as to type; although they all require a water-based product to maintain hydration (a suede type leather like Nubuck is the exception).

Automotive leather care is a subject surrounded with misinformation and myth, products such as leather (Saddle) soaps, oil-based Conditioners, Neats-foot oil, and Hide Food still prevail as top sellers, albeit most are made for equestrian tack, Leatherequi is also a very popular product that is used in a market that is dominated by pigmented leather with an acrylic polythene protective covering; which are very different leathers with completely differing care requirements. The exact reason why this is the case is unclear. It’s possible that there is an association with old world quality (i.e. leather upholstery and burl wood interiors) with these types of products, despite the fact that the automotive industry has been using polyurethane covered pigmented leather for many years

As the materials and production methods that are used on automobiles change; we need to adapt to them and adjust products used and their application methodologies to keep pace with them
