Last week I detailed the inside of Meghan's new GMC Sierra Denali using a variety of different Wolfgang car care products, including the improved formula Leather Care Conditioner.
I started by cleaning the leather seats and other leather/plastic/vinyl interior surfaces using Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner. I like this cleaner a lot because it's strong enough to remove embedded dirt and stains while still being safe enough for sensitive finishes. It has a pleasant "citrus" fragrance that isn't overpowering.
To avoid over spray on unwanted surfaces, I like to bury the nozzle directly into a microfiber applicator pad. Microfiber applicators work great for cleaning interior surfaces because the nap of the towel/applicator provides the necessary agitation to remove stubborn stains.
Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner is formulated using natural citrus cleaning agents. It doesn't have any high-octane cleaners that will dry out or discolor the leather.
Excess cleaner was removed using a Mango Microfiber Towel. You don't want to use a thick, plus towel for interior cleaning because the towel will "drag" along the surface, and depending on the material this could cause the towel to lint and leave little fibers all over the place.
Once the seats were cleaned, I applied a liberal amount of Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner. The formula was recently improved to incorporate higher levels of lanolin and mink oil. This helps keep leather soft, supple, and flexible so it doesn't crack over time. Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner also contains UV inhibitors that prevent fading and discoloration.
I like to apply Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner with a foam applicator. Since Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner doesn't contain any harsh petroleum ingredients, silicones, or gloss agents, it's safe enough that you can apply it using your bare hand.
I even treated the leather steering wheel to a thin coat of Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner. This is a testament to the fact that the formula isn't greasy or sticky.
Armrests tend to get dirtier than other parts of the interior, so this is where I spent additional time applying the product thick and thoroughly massaging it into the leather. You're welcome Meghan.
It's also worth mentioning that Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner is actually beneficial to the stitching - it will not cause it to degrade like most petroleum-based protectants and conditioners.
Next up was the dashboard and door panels. I applied a thin coat of Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Protectant. This protectant is one of my favorites because it's thick, spreads thin, dries to the touch, and doesn't leave the surface blotchy.
I apply it the same way I do the cleaner - bury the nozzle into a microfiber applicator.
If you like it shiny, spread the product on and walk away. This is what it looks like immediately after being applied:
I know Meghan prefers more of a low-gloss, satin finish, so I lightly buffed the panel with a Mango Microfiber Towel.
Low-gloss, satin finish:
Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Protectant is water-based, so you don't have to worry about it attracting dust or dirt.
Finished product:
