• How To Prevent Leather...
Leather upholstery is a luxurious touch to any fine automobile. But without proper care or maintenance, leather dries out, cracks, fades, and brings down the look of any car. Leather is real skin, and requires standard skin care to stay healthy, supple, soft, and vibrant and colorful.
Choose Chemical Guys leather care products to clean, restore, and protect leather seats, upholstery, apparel, and items throughout the automobile, or home.
Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner is colorless, odorless, and gentle enough to use on synthetic and natural leather. Use Leather Cleaner to remove body oils, spills, stains, dirt, and grime from leather goods.

no jeans and certainly no jeans with hardware
If you came here to find out how you protect your leather: 1. Keep the sun away as much as possible (park in garage and with the top up) 2. Get your windows tinted 3. Clean it with steam, open the pores and use a proper cleaning and conditioning system to get the acidic body oils and salty sweat out. I personally use Leatherique (not the redye set), just the cleaner itself is a pretty good all-in-one product.
You’re the real MVP
Think you can provide a link of leatherique?
Also skip the first 4 minutes and just get to how to part.
I can attest that the cleaner is awesome. The conditioner smells of a world series winning antique baseball glove covered in unicorn farts. Both are awesome!!!!
🤣😂
if u wanna say "u cant do much about this leather" u should say it in the beginning of the video. plus what information u gave us can be delivered in 3minute video.
yoiu know they just trying to sell their products lol i can tell the way this guy is talkking its so bullshit
Even 3 minutes too long.
You speled "You" wrong
just purchased a 2011 70th Edition Jeep Patriot in near showroom condition. It has beautiful leather seats without cracks, fading, etc and this video has given me terrific info on the care needed for these seats. I was just wondering if I should put in seat covers and how they would effect the leather. After seeing this video I don't believe I care to eat sandwiches and drink sodas now on the road. hehe. Anyway, thanks for the post.
he starts cleaning the seats 4:32, way too much talking
Thank you. Mindless rambling is huge and rampant in UA-cam
@@supersabrosinho yes it is...
gotta get that ad money bro x,D
Thank you!
@@bobbyh1721 gotta get that 10 minutes
3:49 he prefers CG Leather Cleaner obviously because he works for the company !...
😂
Love this stuff!!
Great video! This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for. I want to keep my new car looking great as long as I can.
Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
How do you take care of leather seats with combination of black colored sued areas. Can you guys make a video? Thanks.
What products do you recommend to clean the bee featured in this video?
Thank you !
Happy detailing!
Does pleather need to be maintained as well with the same
The link for the leather serum takes you to a vintage look leather serum. And the bottle doesn't look like the same one you're using in the video, is it still the same product?
Thanks for the info. And for some reason, you look like a "Linkin Park" member, lol!
I have a 6th gen camaro 1le and the seats are part alcantara and part leather, will any of these products be harmful to the alcantara?
Great video.
Thanks for watching!!
Not bad,maybe an additional product to recolor faded leather?
Cheers Dan
What about for vinyl leather?
My trick is to clean the leather then leave a heavy cream layer overnight -in the morning than clean it off. 100% better because the leather took in the product instead of having a mirofiber pulling it off....
Do you do the same care with textured leather? My seats have a bumpy surface
Hi Erica, good question. Yes, you can care for textured leather in the same way. Check out the video below to see Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner and Conditioner used on the textured leather of a BMW sedan. If ever sure, you can always test new products on a small, inconspicuous area before committing to the entire piece. Thanks for watching, Erica, and thanks for being a part of the Chemical Guys family!

I have leather inlays in the dash of my new truck. I have to park it outside as it's too big for my garage. I do use the windshield shades to keep the UV off. If I continue to do so, should conventional leather cleaner/conditioner be enough? Or should there be any other considerations?
Hey! Add a durable layer of protection by applying HydroLeather.

I need a video on how to protect a spare tire cover on a SUV from cracking, splitting and other damage from the sun. I hope this video can suffice
I'm assuming the cover is made of leather judging by the video. I would start by gently cleaning the cover with the leather cleaner, then applying some of the leather serum to rehydrate the cover. Doing this every month, or every month and half should keep the leather in good shape. The vitamin E in the Serum will help to slow down the degradation o the leather.
So I'm buying a new 2016 wrx with leather interior. I want the leather to look great for many years. To achieve clearly I need leather cleaner but do I need the leather conditioner if I get leather serum or does the leather serum act as a two in one that conditions and protects.
As the explained in other video, Leather Conditioner is like a lotion for the skin, which means it softens the leather. Leather Serum is for protection to the leather, like a wax or sealant for the paint. They both make different actions in the leather.
Jorge Daniel Figueroa Velázquez From My experience regularly cleaning leather seats with professional grade leather cleaners and than applying a UV protectant regularly will prevent all these cracks from happening
RE: "This leather's so far gone... you can't let it get this far gone and expect to put a cream on it." -- I hear if you apply Leatherique Conditioner it actually goes into the leather and takes some of the wrinkles out. (read up on how to apply it properly though, it's finicky)
What do you recommend for softtex leather from Toyota
Hey Paul! Thanks for watching. Use the same products and process shown in this video to clean and protect your leather.
- CG Nick

can you wash those towels for reuse?
Hi Ted! Absolutely, use Microfiber Wash to remove spent product and grime while reviving your microfiber goods.

What different between leather cleaner and sprayable leather?
Leather cleaner is just a clear the sprayable leather is a conditioner as well. If you leather is very dirty use the cleaner first .... if not the Sprayabale leather will work great.

Can I sit right in the car after? or how long do I need to wait to sit on the recently cleaned seats
Somebody answer this man!!!!
Almost immediately, it’s a dry to the touch product.
Would this also help with office chairs ? Stupid question but thought I’d ask so I can keep my chair looking nice for a lot longer
Absolutely! This process is safe for any leather goods.
@@ChemicalGuys sweet thanks 🙏 I brought a new office chair so I’ll make sure to follow the steps in the video
Will cleaning or conditioning my leather too often accelerate wear?
Hey! Routine washing and conditioning will not harm or wear out the leather.
I asked specifically if I were to clean the seats more often than recommended
@@shirebands7169 he literally answered your question. Comprehension isn’t your strong suit
@@ohboy2592 he said ROUTINE washing and conditioning. I asked if I were to clean/condition more often than recommended. Im happy we have pleasant and helpful humans like you in the world.
@@shirebands7169 ok, then why would do it more than normal? Clean as necessary and conditioning once a month or two. Why would you waste your product and money? It’s like people who wash their car two or three times a week, wasteful.
I wash my car every saturday i like a clean car but i also like cleaning it.... can i clean and condition my leather every week or would that be to much??
Hey! We recommend conditioning your leather every month. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
So no all in one cleaner and conditioners?
Hey there, the Leather cleaner is a ph balanced colorless leather cleaner that removes the body oils, grease, dust and spills from your leather. The leather serum contains a complex of essential ingredients to extend the life of damaged leather, or leather that has started to show signs of aging due to exposure to the sun, and normal wear and tear. Our quick detail spray cleans and protects with a ph balanced neutral formula, and contains vitamin that nourishes leather as well. Stay tuned buddy, we've got more great videos heading your way.

I've heard you can remove creases from leather by using a hair dryer
You will destroy the protective finish if the temperature is high and you hold it too long over the surface, and if they are big creases anyway, forget it!
Would it be fine to clean the leather then get seat covers
Hi! We recommend Leather Cleaner, it removes dirt, grease, body oils, sweat, food residues, and light stains from all types of fine natural leather, durable sealed leather, and synthetic leather materials. Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Yes
You think working hands cream would work on leather ?
Hi Onix! Using hand creme on your leather will clog up the leather pours and dry it out. We recommend both Leather condition or Leather Serum to receive the maximum protection. Leather Conditioner is a water-based formula that is blended with Vitamin E Aloe extracting to moisturize leather pieces to restore a soft, supple feel. Leather Serum is a unique protectant that restores a soft supple feel to leather, and protects against fading from harsh UV rays and light stains from normal use.

Chemical Guys thank you for this!!
Also is there a different way to care for “synthetic” leather?
all u gotta do is but a sun cover on ur front widows and that well protect your leather for a long time
Hi Jesus, thanks for checking out this vid. Leather naturally breaks down over time, it was once an animal's hide. Wear and tear on the seats, heat, body oils, friction from getting in and out of the car will cause the leather to crack, and deteriorate over time. Using something like the Leather serum and Conditioner drastically slows that process down so that you can get the most longevity from your leather. Even if the windshield is covered, the surrounding vehicle is still being heated, dehydrating the leather. I suggest you give it a try, and you will immediately notice a change in your leather's feel. Stay tuned Jesus, we have more videos coming out every week.
+Chemical Guys . why would I want to put that on while driving I hope you didn't think that my first comment was being disrespectful because I wasn't.. I like your car smell product it works great and I'm hoping I can use this leather cleaning and conditioner soon.. but I'm just telling you people from the other comments that it doesn't hurt to put a window protector or a sun visor or whatever you call it while your car is parked anywhere either you're at the house or at work there's a lot of people that complain about their letters being cracked and I noticed that there's some people that are lazy that they don't want to clean their leather seats at least twice a month.. and it kind of disgust me that there's some people in this world that would leave their cars dirty for years I'm guessing their mom and dad never raise them right but once again I wasn't talking about you chemical guy I'm just throwing it out there to people that say stupid things and stupid comments it's common sense though to protect your leather is to take care of it plain and simple
No worries Jesus, its all love. We appreciate all our viewers.
how do i know if i have a leather steering wheel?
+RideOrDie Car specs... or touch it. Is it soft meterial or rubbery material?
That's a tough one, what I would suggest is, you try and look at it.
🆒👍
how anticlimactic .. all that only to find out the leather cant be fixed
Hi Gary, thanks for watching. Leather breaks down because of temperature, wear and tear, and exposure to body oils. Some people choose to neglect their car's leather interior, which results in premature cracking, fading, and flaking. Our Leather conditioner, and serum work well to slow down the rate at which the seats begin to break down. Unfortunately for the owner of this Porsche, it's clear to see that they didn't bother to do the proper maintenance to keep the leather looking its best.
That car has over 100k miles, period
yea.. parked with the sunroof down for 6 months straight. I don't think so
What about WHITE leather??
Same process. Your leather was just colored with white dye and not black
I know that car has a lot more miles in it because my 2000 Camry has better seats after 300k miles. There is no way that it has 45k only. No way.
Probably in the sun with top down, in Texas that can kill leather.
this guy says "supple" way too much in their videos
How do I get rid of the fading on the bolster? I tried all kinda leather wipes, not helping.
Hi there! If the leather is fading it may need to be dyed or repaired.
