I purchased this brush to clean carpets, but I'd like to get a brush to use on a DA for leather. The description says it can be used on leather, but I'm hesitant. Has anyone tried it, or would recommend (for or against) using it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TU662Y/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should be okay, just don't apply pressure to the seats with it. Let the rotation and product do the work.
I personally do not ever use anything that harsh on leather. Would rather use a PH balanced liquid cleaner to do the work and a microfiber towel or pad or worst case scenario, the awesome cleaning sponge that TuffShine sells.. Dan F
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm basing the idea on one of the AmmoNYC videos, at about the 7 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bd_IqK5ydU Looks like a great way to clean, though I can understand Stokdogs thought of not wanting to use any power tools on leather. I believe that brush I posted may be a bit too stiff.
Leather is alot tougher than you think i have several hard to soft bristle drill brushes that i use on dirty ground in dirt and body oils from the leather they always come out clean without damage to the leather
It looks like the one in the video. It cleans out all the dirt and oils and leave really nice clean leather. I follow up with Leather Masters Conditioner and it leave a nice Matte finish. My wifes MDX is beige leather and besides the kids mess, her jeans transfer and if I don't stay on top of it I am afraid it might become permanent.
I did not watch the video you posted, but I have seen several others from AMMONYC on youtube, and he often mentions Phil at Detailers Domain, and in one he showed the Porter Cable soft gray brush he used on his DA, and said he ordered that one from Phil. That is the one I see used most often, The yellow one would likely work on MOST leathers, but be very light and careful, plus I would not even DARE to put that thing on soft, supple leather, even using it by hand... Believe me, I know how tough leather can be [I work construction, and clean my Red Wing boots with a wire brush, lol!] but I also know exactly how soft it can be as well, the wrong move on an expensive leather will cost you $$$
