OPC on leather?

When did Autogeek start shipping the new formula? I'm not sure which one I have. I bought it about 3-4 months ago.

I think it was right at Labor Day when they posted the new formula, and subsequently put the old formula on BOGO.

I've used the new formula back to back against the old formula and not that I expected anything less, but Dr. G definitely made some noticeable improvements. I've been on the search for some heavily soiled leather seats to demonstrate it on but haven't had any luck yet. All the locals around here have clean cars for some reason. :laughing:

I bought a few of them and some of the sprayer crapped out on me. I think their "chemical resistant sprayer" is alright, but at 2.50 you really can't complain.
 
Ok so I learned something new with this tonight. 3:1 does work very well on leather that is very soiled. I had cleaned my steering wheel last night with the 10:1 (or I thought I did) then "rinsed" with a damp cloth well. Got in this morning to be greeted by tacky steering wheel (yuck). So I hit it again tonight after washing the car and used the 3:1. The leather is now literally squeaky clean. It had 2 3/4 years of grime on it.

Tacky leather?
Does anyone got any idea what caused this?

I used APC 1:10 on my leather dash board before and I have the same issue...
sounds like I should use a higher concentration one.

In my case it was the weaker solution not getting the leather fully clean. So the hand oil/sweat residue was brought out and got tacky on the surface. I don't know about a dash other than your solution didn't fully clean any old dressings maybe. After tonight's experience I'm probably going to go back and re-clean and re-UIGP my stick shift knob as well.
