Just thinking out loud about Leather Masters

I know there have been a lot of buzz about the product I myself I have been using it long before I started selling it.

Most of the top guys are using it now....well how about we do a special intro to LM...

Maybe I can build a few kits at very nice prices to get you all going for the spring....

LMK what you all think...

 

I'm down.

 

IMO Leather Master's is hands down the best range of Leather Care products available ...

 

How does this compare to Leatherique?

 

^^^^^ ditto

 

As far back as 2004 I was using Leather Master...I believe I may of been one of the first to speak about it on the forums and it is fantastic stuff!

I highly recommend it BUT if you're using it DON'T GIVE IT AWAY as you include it in your details because the stuff is not cheap.

Try offering it as an upsell to your clients....ya know kinda like "Well we can wash it and use a quick spray wax on your paint or we can give it a 3 step polish and wax with greater results"....kinda upsell.

Phil, I need this with more urgency than the 3403 kit. The current three 250mL bottle kit would be good for how many cars? I need to recondition a 535i and an older QX4 (I'm getting a migraine just thinking about this one).

 

Leatherique
[ Leatherique arose from a need to find a product that would restore the leather in his 1939 Bentley. Nothing he tried was adequate for this special car, so he approached Peck about creating something new. After a lot of work, they produced Leatherique”]

Quote – [Leatherique Prestine Clean is part of a two-step leather maintenance system. (1) Step one - Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil is a protein collagen complex that is absorbed into the hide to nourish it, and while it will expel dirt to the surface, it does not harm the dye in any way. This oil nourishes the leather and forces contaminants out of the pores. (2) Step two - Prestine Clean then removes these contaminants from the surface of the leather and leaves it with a clean, matte sheen. This is the only leather care system that calls for the conditioner to be used first, and it makes perfect sense! The leather absorbs as much of the oil as it can and expels the rest to the surface, along with all the contamination.]

Comment
According to Leatherique you apply the (conditioning) oil first and then the cleaner, so it must first dissolve its own oils, limiting its capacity to dissolve dirt and oils in the leather. They state that their cleaner will only remove dirt (oils) not the Leatherequi oils. I would question how does the cleaner distinguish between oils (i.e. the most common dirt in leather are body oils followed by suntan oils and then oily residue brought in via the a/c) that should be removed and Leatherequi's conditioning oils? (See also oils)

In my opinion you should avoid using these types of conditioners for coated leathers. If you use an oil-based product the problem will be exasperated as the oil will attract dirt/grime to the surface. This product also contains lanolin, waxy cream and white spirit that can react with the coating used on today’s leather. It's a great product for the renovation or restoration of old English leather hides or other uncoated natural leather.

 

I 'think' the problem here is where you say it must dissolve it's own oils WHAT??? that's like saying a motor oil can not work because it must overcome it's own oil first before it starts to do it's job.

Now it's great to write and give opinions, but have you used this? I have, I've used 3 types.. Lexoil and also Leather Masters and I could Not get what appeared to be a stain out with Lexoil, but it did work with Leatherique. This is just my opinion also, your milage can vary.

In the fifty years I've been detailing I've never recommended / written about a tool / care care product that I have not owned or personally tested by using, all of which have proven them to work effectively, providing consistent show-winning results.

As a long-term regular contributor to the online detailing community I openly recommend products that I use (I test many products and only endorse those that work) and try my best not to use ‘hype’ terms. It's only my recommendation no matter what products you use the methodology will apply.

 

hey phil, it looks like these products will get to me in time for a detail job i have this weekend on a 09 F430 Scuderia
