Car Leather Conditioner
Experience has shown that cleaning your car leather upholstery is by far the more critical role of healthy leather than the actual obsession many people have of simply applying layer after layer of the best automotive leather conditioners.
Not only is modern day car leather upholstery much more resistant to normal wear and tear of daily use, but cleaning and maintenance is also easier than ever. Most modern day car leathers are finished with a clear protective layer that is not only resistant to spills, but also makes them resistant to any auto leather conditioner being able to actually penetrate this protective layer to nourish the natural fibers of the car leather.
Auto Leather Conditioner Q. and A.
Q - I heard you should never clean your leather car seats, but to use an auto leather conditioner only.A - This is one of the biggest myths with proper car leather care. The real irony is that with modern day leathers, keeping them clean is your main goal, and in most cases, will be your only goal.
Q - I heard you can make your car leather softer and softer the more auto leather conditioner is used or applied.
A - We need to let go of the nostalgic fantasy that our car leather is like a new baseball glove; something that needs to be broken in with constant manipulation with exotic oils and conditioners. Your car leather is just that; car leather! This means it is not your shoe leather, your luggage leather, your baseball glove leather, or any other kind of leather. It is specially made for use in car interiors and the good news is that it is very resilient. The modern day leathers used in most cars are what is called protected aniline, or semi-aniline leather. What this means is that the leather has been dyed, and some form of pigment and a clear top coat has been applied for durability, fade resistance, and protection. Which also now means that all these different forms of conditioners and dressings do not even penetrate the leather itself.
Q - I heard that all car leather is mostly the same.
A - Not true. These kinds of statements clearly come from the misinformed; they also come from someone who has never been inside an exotic car such as a Ferrari, or Rolls Royce, or Bentley. One trip inside one of these cars and you are ruined for life, as you will see first hand that you really do get what you pay for, and the opulence of these car leather interiors is like no other. Once you experience the difference first hand, good enough never will be!
Q - I heard that the best auto leather conditioner is one with the correct ph balance.
A - I know this sounds like a good idea; if we actually knew what the correct ph level is. Once again, the industry preys on our ignorance as consumers through marketing and advertising. A company only needs to include this on their label to have the ignorant consumer fall prey to the old fear clause of marketing; create the fear, real or not, then provide a solution to that fear. If it is suggested that you need to pick the conditioner containing the correct ph level, then you will of course buy that one over another. Once again, modern day leathers are very different than that of yesterday, so ph levels are mostly irrelevant when talking about any good automotive leather conditioner.Car Leather Care Kits
