Zeroing in on leather cleaner.

[Don M]

Thanks to all who have provided input on what leather cleaner I should get for an upcoming detail on a Porsche and a Land Rover. So far I have narrowed it down to a few possibilities. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything:

Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner
Wolfgang Leather Cleaner
Leather Masters Strong Cleaner
Meguiar's D101 APC
Zaino Leather Cleaner

I'm not so much worried about the conditioner as I can pick up something decent OTC if needed, I'm just concerned about being able to get the leather (tan and brown) CLEAN

I recommend going with Leather Masters' Cleaners,
to clean vehicles' leathers.

•OTC, or not:
-I never use a Leather "conditioner"...
-I use Leather Protectants!

•I recommend Leather Masters' Protectant products.


•I remember that, when it comes to Leather...It's:
Clean and Protect!

I use LM Strong Leather cleaner diluted 50/50 with hot water. Part of the CHAT method of leather cleaning.

C=Chemical Cleaner or Detergent
H=Heat
A=Agitation
T=Time, as in dwell time.

With any cleaner, I use a wrung out cotton towel to remove all traces of the cleaner/detergent residue prior to applying a water-based fluorocarbon protectant.

I have both Leather Masters Rapid S Cleaner/Protection Cream and Mothers Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (which is a protectant)--both perform well. My recommendation depends on how dirty the leather is and how you like application method

Leather Masters is beyond easy to use--you don't have to scrub, just wipe with a sponge. It works super fast to clean light-medium dirt. Both the cleaner and protection cream spread super easy as well.

With Mothers, you might have to use a little elbow grease but it will clean well too. I recommend using a terry cloth towel for cleaning and a MF applicator pad for the conditioner.

For both products, I recommend using a leather/vinyl scrub brush to agitate the surface if it's really dirty and a terry cloth towel to wipe afterwards.
