Let’s Clear the Air About Car Leather Interiors

When it comes to car leather interiors, there’s no shortage of advice online — but unfortunately, much of it is outdated, recycled, and flat-out wrong. Blog after blog, forum after forum, the same myths keep getting repeated, usually by people with little to no hands-on experience in the real world of detailing.

Most of these sites aren’t truly interested in helping you understand your leather. They’re built to push the same tired cleaners and conditioners, peddling products that haven't evolved in years — all aimed at an audience that doesn’t know they deserve better.

My mission is different. After over 30 years running a professional detailing business, I’ve seen firsthand what works — and what doesn’t — for preserving and enhancing car leather interiors. I’m here to share real-world knowledge, not just sell you more "stuff."

Many so-called "experts" online are just marketers in disguise, more focused on conversions than on giving you the truth. I’d rather empower you with the kind of insight that leads to smarter decisions for both your vehicle and your wallet.

Hopefully, the links and information throughout this page help guide you toward better care for your leather — with clarity, not confusion.

Sincerely,

Darren Priest
