When comes to cleaning leather the only thing i use on leather is D180 ( read : no steamer, no apc or any other things/cleaners ) D180 is meguiar`s leather cleaner conditioner. for public can be purchase in sample of 12 oz around 7$ , or in gallon for more / detailer use. one seat should take between 5 minutes up to 20 minutes (when soiled) Depends how bad the leather condition is i do one or 2 applications for cleaning and the 3rd one for "conditioner" where the product is light wipe. i use it with a soft brush (1in and half , soft-hair) i apply the product on the brush and i work the seat strategic , in steps. u agitate the product to make sure goes anywhere on seat surface and wipe with mf towel. - when use with the brush keep on eye on any splater , if use too much product, wipe any splater from leather, try don`t leave it too long, has cleaning agents. - always wipe with mf towel so the leather is even covered. - once u start you wanna do the whole seat/ interior seats , if not will be visible difference - the product has a light learning curve but once u use it it should be easy on/off , just wipe the excess to even the application if not the excess it may be visible too shiny. - when first applied on seats it may look greasy at the momment you work the paste , but after 1-2 hours the finish is natural , and nice to touch , gives a light shine of the leather but not any extreme glare. that`s my experience with D180, very affordable , safe on leather ,good working time , quality results. i use it on different vehicles , color , and very soft leather some pictures to sustain the one above: motorcycle jacket 50/50 test: Audi S4 before: after: Bentley before after Ferrari after ( roof , door ,seats) BMW Z4 before after Mercede Benz S550 before with some stains and dirt kind of 50/50 view after :gidiup:
Thanks for the review. Meguiar's do make some underrated stuff. I love Hyperdressing, WB, and Hyperwash. The good thing about the Detailer's Line is it's easy on the wallet, and some of the products are just great.
This is one of those products that doesn't get a lot of hype. It works as advertised. Definitely a must have when reconditioning lots of cars with leather interiors.
Thanks for the review. Meguiars has some good stuff, but I think it gets overlooked a lot because of their OTC line. They are some hidden gems for sure.
