New Cleaning Supplies

[quietpeen]

Since I upgraded the interior to leather I figured I should actually take care of it. I am a big fan of Adams products so I got Adam's Leather and Interior cleaner and was also going to get their Leather and Interior Dressing(not their conditioner) but it wouldn't have been delivered till next week and being the impatient person that I am I decided to try Chemical Guys Leather Protectant Serum my only concern with this product is that it has natural leather scent and a satin finish. I usually don't care for fake leather scents, and I don't want the leather to be shiny. For the Alcantara suede I previously bought Sonax cleaner which works well especially on the steering wheel. What are your go to products for leather and suede?

I bought the complete chemical guys leather kit on Amazon. It’s fine, but it does give a lot of gloss, and it lasts a long time. So I’ve just been using this for regular cleaning / maintenance.

I like the smell and the dispenser is nice. It’s also really cheap to buy locally.

Funny thing is I haven't even used it yet, which means I could have just waited for the Adams stuff I originally picked. Don't know all the differences between the chemical guys stuff you bought and the serum I bought but I'm now really hoping that it is less gloss. The Serum also has a bit a chemical smell to it.

However I did clean the back seats with the Adams cleaner and I like the results. It foams/bubbles up nicely when using a brush on it.

Chemical Guys HOL303 Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Detailing Kit, for Interiors, Leather, Apparel, Furniture, Boots, and More (Works on Natural, Synthetic, Pleather, Faux Leather and More), 9 Items https://a.co/d/9ACIuE2

It was a Black Friday deal. I like the cleaner. The conditioner is just a little much for my tastes. Especially on the dash and door panel leather.

Finally tried out the chemical guys leather serum. It does add just a little gloss but not a whole lot. I did also buy the adams leather and interior dressing which is supposed to add no gloss. It’s hard to tell in the pics but I will try lol

Here is a seat after being cleaned.(no conditioner yet)

And here is one that has the Chemical Guys leather serum.

Yeah, really hard to tell. Those outer bolsters on the seat bottoms aren’t even leather. Guessing the faux stuff wears better there.

 

[quietpeen]

Really? That’s disappointing that they are not leather. Still look better overall than the seats I replaced so I won’t complain one bit.

Still nice seats. The rest of them is legitimate leather anyway!
