Every store I go into for leather conditioner/cleaner has the same off-white colored lotion for leather seats. I have black seats and am tired of filling all the little holes with conditioner everytime I clean my interior. Does anyone know of a way to obtain some black conditioner/cleaner? I realize this exists for other leather products like coats and shoes, but would that work for our seats?

 

Lexol leather conditioner. Put the stuff onto an applicator (not directly to seating surfaces) and apply liberally...
Never had any problems "filling" the perforated leather, keeps it looking and smelling new.
Depending on usage of your car, treat leather about once per month.

I also use Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner on my black seats. Out of curiosity, why do you currently need to fill in the perforations? Doesn't the excess cleaner and conditioner wipe right off?

 

There is no black leather conditioner, if there was, it would crock (meaning the color would come back off onto your clothing). There is a product we carry called rub-in color which will restore color to the area, but as for conditioners, it is not possible.

Try blowing the conditioner through the holes with pressurized air such as one of those computer cleaner bottles with compressed air should you not have access to a compressor. If you do it before the conditioner dries, it works great.

If you want to check out the rub-ins and other cleaning/conditioning products...www.leatherinstitute.com

 

hey wassup. I bought the CCP from you months ago, I forgot your name. Anyway, the big bottle i have, about 32oz. bottle, seemed to have separated the oil from the liquid (the oil was resting on top of the lotion-like cream). Not knowing this, I poured a good amount of the oil stuff out when I tried to pour some conditioner out of the bottle. Is my CCP product no good now cuz the mixture doesn't have enough oil?

Thanks.

Hey SiDriver, hows it going? Haven't heard from you in a while...dam I wish I was as good with names as you are, I apologize but I can not recall yours, hence the cheesy opening I remembered last time we talked you said you were putting like 100 miles a night on your car...what are you up to now? I'm at 32,xxx and my lease is up in February so I think an '05 is on the way...


Jyeung (Jeff, right?), you were actually supposed to shake that all back together, the product will tend to separate over time, but a quick shake does the trick. How much exactly did you pour out? I think you should be fine, but I just want to make sure it wasn't like a third of the container. Please let me know and I will see what I can do.

 

The oil stuff, I must of spilled out about 1/4 of a cup of oil. Then I shook it back up, but the mixture didn't look right, it was lumpy, like it lacked the oil, which I guess it did.

no residue, works almost too good.

The Leatherique golden oil stuff is not made for finished leather...it could actually soften your finish and ruin the leather rather quickly.

It is made for pull-up or aniline leather where the oil will be absorbed (like a baseball glove)
