Leather Care

posted by  someone claiming to be David Whitfield on  Wed May 9 19:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I think I have used every product there is on the market in an attempt to care for my cars leather interior. I have not found a product that comes close to the products offered by Leatherique. I first heard about this company's product at a national Rolls-Royce meet. As far as I am concern no product even comes in as a close second. By following the instructions I have be able to turn cardboard like leather back to glove soft. The products are all natural too. VERY nice people, and a most helpful web site. www.leatherique.com

    I too was quite impressed with the Rejuvinator Oil, despite the hokey name. After two applications on a hot day, it restored a reasonable degree of suppleness to my rather beat-up and abused upholstery.

    Unfortunately, it did not work on me.

    I was unable to detect any effect of the cleaner product that they shipped me as a freebie, but the seats were not very dirty.

    Did you buy it using email, as they suggest. Do you use the oil and the cleaner every time or the oil infrequently and the cleaner occasionally? Is there any stickiness at all? I don't know to what extent the new finish of the 2001 models has an impervious protective coating so that oil will not penetrate until it becomes worn. Any idea? Thanks - sounds like a good product. The web site says that the products will also work on vinyl.

      Hi John,

      I always use both the Rejuvinator Oil and the Prestine Clean just as the instructions state. I have on occasion used just the Prestine Clean, but rarely. I find a couple of treatments a year is fine in my area and the conditions my cars are subjected to. The secret to the process being successful seems to be letting the car set in the sunshine with the windows rolled up, just as they recommend. I would not start using this product on a new car's interior until the seats began to show signs of wear and drying. And of course I NEVER use anything containing silicone. I called Lexol and they tell me their products contain silicone. I will not buy Lexol while this is the case.

      I have also discovered Leatherique (www.leatherique.com) has the best dye I have ever used. It's all natural too.

      When ordering service is much faster by ordering on line. The people who own the company (George and wife Krysti) are some of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Good luck! E-mail me privately if necessary.

      Take care,

      David Whitfield
