What is the best/easiest way to apply the Vital and Protection Cream? Tried using a mf, foam ap....the foam ap worked pretty well but i was thinking just throw on some gloves and just do it by hand. What works best for everyone else?
detailersdomain detailing blocks is what i use..they are like 3.5-4 inch cubed black narrow cell foam..lays it down super thin..i love the stuff..best leather product i have used.
to condition leather i usually use the detail sponges or like you said, throw on a glove and work it in by hand.
Guess i might be placing another order sooner than i thought....just hope my other half doesnt find out haha
Some people I know use Leatherique as a once a year way to "deep clean and condition" the leather and Leather Masters as a "maintenance" cleaner/conditioner/protectant throughout the year. I have never tried either product so I don't know if that a good practice or not.
Apply it by hand. Just make sure your nails are clipped. Apply the "Vital" first, massaging in well and then buffing the finish out. Then apply the Protection Creme over the Vital. I usually use a hairdryer/heat gun in conjunction with the application. Anthony
Clean using a sponge or stiff bristled brush. You can also use your hands to work the foam into the grain pattern. Always use the products as a foam (either created with a sponge or a foaming bottle) Microfibre cloths should be avoided as they are designed to remove loose particles and if the leather has any areas of finish that are not stable these will be removed too. Apply the Protector with a lint free cloth (this way you do not waste too much product in your applicator) Then lastly apply Vital in the same way as the protector which is simply a 'feel good' factor for leather. Using a hairdryer at the protection stage is a good idea.
Guys let me know what you think: http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/f28/just-thinking-out-loud-about-leather-7801.html#post115266
While I have never used Leather Masters, my assumption is that first you clean the leather with LM Strong Cleaner, then condition the leather with LM Vital, then protect the leather with LM Protection Cream. Once I use up my current leather cleaner and leather conditioner, Leather Masters is on my list to try.
IIRC, member "judyb" is the leather expert by profession and she stated the proper steps for LM on the first page.
Never heard of the hairdryer method for LM? But as per instructions on the LM bottles, vital comes before protection.
