How To Correctly Clean & Condition Leather! - Chemical Guys

- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- Proper cleaning and conditioning is crucial to keep leather looking its best: neglected leather dries out, cracks, and fades; dirty leather shines and shimmers from body oil grease contamination. When cleaned, conditioned, and cared for properly, leather feels smooth, looks silky, and smells fresh and luxurious. Regular use of the Leather Kit keeps leather looking clean, feeling silky smooth, and soft and supple to resist cracking and breaking prematurely. To properly nourish and protect leather, you must first clean away any oils and impurities with Leather Cleaner. Leather Cleaner lifts and emulsifies dirt, oils, and grease from deep within the pores of natural and synthetic leather upholstery and accessories. The pH-balanced formula won’t stain leather or change the texture, and is safe for natural leather, durable sealed leather, and synthetic leather materials.

Super impressed with this stuff!!! I bought the cleaner & conditioner, as well as the horse hair brush and microfiber pads. My leather sectional had mildew on it from being in storage - thanks to this product it now looks brand new!!!!! Amazing
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the tips on cleaning and conditioning leather seats. A video on caring for wood trim would be very helpful. I recent bought a used car and the wood trim feel dry and need of some TLC.
JRPy Fish-n-Game agreed!
Was looking for a product to clean my perforated leather seats. I just found it. I really appreciate the tutorial. The suggested frequency to clean my the seats was another bonus. Great video. Definitely going to purchase this kit.
Thanks so much for tuning in!!

@@ChemicalGuys doesn't the brush scratch the leather?
You guys are THE BEST!! I am so happy you guys answered all of my questions with new videos!! There were even links at the end of the last video to this one!!
Happy detailing Katie!

I just bought a 2011 Genesis Sedan. The leather is in good shape but the previous owner definitely only ever cleaned and maintained the Driver seat while the other seats were left un used. This little kit made all the seats feel like brand new again. Absolutely worth it!
Enjoy your detailing products!!
Is there a video or could you guys make a video of what kind of "Towels" or "Microfiber towels" you guys use and which ones are for what jobs. Just to have an idea for myself.
Just tried this kit on my seats and it's AWESOME. My seats have never been cleaner and they smell great!
Hey Jon! We're so glad you're enjoying your detailing products!!
- CG Nick
why would you even smell your seat 🤢
@@pullingthestrings5233 because I cleaned it with the kit haha. Once you really scrub off all the crap and condition it- it’s truly clean. And yes, it does smell good! But I’m not like putting my nose up to the seat, my guy lol. The car interior in general will smell nice from the leather conditioner.
as always great video and tutorial video Nick. 😃😃
What's up Richard! Thanks so much for the encouragement and feedback!!
- CG Nick
I purchased the leather care kit. While the solutions are OK, the bristles on the brush for cleaning started falling out and shedding all over the interior after use on only 3 seats.
I brought this to Chemical Guys attention and their response was "thank you for your feedback" and "welcome to the Chemical Guys family". No apology or offer to replace the poor-quality brush. I won't be a repeat customer.
I used this stuff on my leather seats, but this stuff also works great on my black Timberland work boots. Keeps them looking great when they get really filthy.
I am very much a chemical guys gal. My Honda Pilot is just over a year old and I only hand-wash it and detail it by myself using probably 90% chemical guy products. I'm excited to use these 2 products for the first time tomorrow!
Enjoy your detailing products!!
Just got the pilot trailsport. My first time having leather seats. Pretty noob on how im gonna clean the interior
I use these products on my 2016 f150 king ranch. I also hit the carpet areas with the leather scent spray. Every time someone gets in my truck they comment on how great the leather smells. Also sometimes get asked how I make the truck smell so good on the inside. My leather seats look great. Especially knowing it now has 90k miles
😃 Enjoy your detailing products!
Just picked up this kit 🔥👍🏼
Enjoy your detailing products!

Can you use the leather cleaner, conditioner, and the serum on softex (synthetic) leather?
Hi there! Thanks so much for checking out the video and yes you can use all three products.

Enjoy your detailing products!!
Will this help making creases go away ? Have sum I'm trying to remove b4 they crack
Nick, After cleaning, what should we do first, leather Serum or leather conditioner? After you've sealed the seats with Leather Serum how should we care for the seats? If we have to use leather cleaner a month or 2 down the road, after Serum do we have to reapply it? As you can tell, I am a little confused about the order and how resistant Serum is to being removed by Leather cleaner.
Hey BigOldDog! After thoroughly cleaning and drying the leather, apply Leather Conditioner and then Leather Serum. If Leather Cleaner is used again down the road it will remove or degrade the protectants and it should be reapplied in the same order as before.
- CG Nick
I just bought this kit plus the horse hair brush and I am looking forward to trying it out. Can I use a new microfiber towel as an applicator or does it have to be something like that sponge looking one you used in the video ?
Hey there! That's awesome, you're gonna love it! Yes, that's perfectly fine to use a clean microfiber towel that is folded into 4 as an applicator pad.
- CG Nick
How often does chemical guys recommend to do this to the seats of a new car.
Great video Nick which one should I buy Maxii suds 2 and which flavor. Or Watermelon snow foam??
Hey buddy! MAXI Suds is a great choice but Watermelon/Honeydew Snow Foam are my favorite car wash soaps especially in a foam cannon.

Hey Charlotte! Thanks so much for checking out today's video and for the great response!!

Can you use the leather quick detailer in lieu of the cleaner?
Hey Sky! Leather Quick Detailer can be used when the surface isn't very dirty or stained rather than using Leather Cleaner.
- CG Nick
Hi Nick, I will be using both products on light grey leather, any ‘colour fast’ issues?
Hey Ian! It is totally fine to use Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner for any color leather goods. You're gonna love it!
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys - I just completed my car seats (light grey leather & dark grey dashboard leather trim) and boy, am sure glad to use the CG pair of cleaner & conditioner. Worth my time & effort .....achieved at least 90% original condition. Thanks Again Nick!
Can I use a microfiber cloth when I use the leather cleaner? Or do I have to invest in a soft brush?
Personally, I feel like the brush lifts off the most dirt
The brush works really good
The brush goes crazy!!! Doesn't leave any damage because of the horse hair, and lifts all the dirt from the seats.
I use chemical guy to my car set leather Tesla model Y and after 3 days I saw white spot appear. Do you know why? And how can I remove those spot ? Please 🙏
Should I condition my seats and then apply the serum, or just use the serum?
Hey there! Revive a like new look, feel and smell by applying Leather Conditioner and Leather Serum.
- CG Nick
I live in az how often should i maintain the leather seat in the summer?
Hey Kevin! If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight most of the time, I recommend applying Leather Conditioner and Leather Serum every 3 or 4 months for the best durability.
- CG Nick
Ive been using this on my seats for a year now and they still look and feel great. Always hear comments about how the interior still looks and smells new.
Never quite get this level of lather though. I clean my car at least 1x a month along with the conditioner. Is it just because there isnt a whole lot of dirt/buildup?
Hi there! Thanks so much for tuning in. Spray the surface and brush and thoroughly agitate the cleaner to improve foaming action.
Hey Nick, can I use it on my car seats that have ventilation holes?
Hey there! Absolutely, it is still fine to use these products on perforated leather.
- CG Nick
Man, your vocabulary is impressive!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Hello, How much PH have leather cleaner?
Is this safe for use with Alcantara accents? The seats in my truck are about half leather and half Alcantara, not sure if I should use a different compound for that
Hey! We recommend Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant, it is the one product that cleans and protects virtually any car interior surface! Simply mist and wipe for professional cleaning results everywhere, from the dashboard to glass and more!
www.chemicalguys.com/total-interior-cleaner-and-protectant/total-interior.html
How does your Cleaner and Conditioner 2-in-1 product compare to using two separate products?
Hi Enric! Whenever performing multiple steps it will achieve a better result than using an all in one product. Sprayable Leather is perfect for maintaining new/clean leather goods whereas it would be best to detail dirty leather with Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner.
- CG Nick
Can I use this on heated/cooled seats?
Hey Ben! Yes, it is perfectly fine to use Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner for perforated, heated/cooled seats.
- CG Nick
What do you recommend for cleaning my Tesla's synthetic leather seats? Will normal leather cleaner work or should I use something else?
I had the same question but it looks like it says you can use it on synthetic leather as well, it's at the very end of the video description. I might have to give it a try!
good question.. i would like to know too, for my Cybertruck, lol
Me too I have a army tank I with synthetic leather seats.
Me to my bicycle seat needs some leather conditioner aswell
Hey Robby! Absolutely, the same products and process can be used for virtually all real, synthetic, vegan and faux leather goods.
- CG Nick

How often I should cleanse and conditioner my leather seat?
Hey! We recommend cleaning and conditioning your leather at least once a month. Thanks for watching and happy detailing!
After i applied the cleaner, my leather looks to be faded in some areas now, is that normal? I still went ahead and applied the conditioner and going to let it sit 2 hours and then apply serum.
I bought the kit but besides the cleaner and conditioner, it came with Leather Quick Detailer bottle. How would you use that in the process? After conditioning the seats?
Hi Adrian! Absolutely, use Leather Quick Detailer as a final step as well as in between details to pick up dust and messes while adding protection.
Can you use these cleaners on air conditioned seats? Mainly worried about the product getting into the air holes.
Hey Timothy! It is perfectly fine to use the Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner on perforated leather. Avoid build up by spraying your brush or towel rather than the surface of the seat and when applying protection, spread it out on the applicator to prevent heavy clots.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Nick, thanks for the quick reply!! One other question. How long does it take for the products to dry after applying the conditioner?
Leather Conditioner will begin to dry almost immediately, so it only takes a few moments before buffing off the excess.
- CG Nick
Have a new Ford super duty with platinum interior leather. Do you recommend the conditioner on new seats to protect them?
of course.. appears money don't buy brains.. "platinum" jarhead
Tom Jubb Usually, new leather seats have protection on them that will last for the first two years. I don’t think it’s necessary, but it’s not going to hurt either.
@@veteransforequality7347 Its ok my son is a veteran and the reason I stated its a platinum is the King Ranch and the Limited are all different quality of leather. And this is my forever truck after driving a 2004 F150 XLT for 16 years raising two kids on my own. So no worries on the insult.
Tom Jubb 👍 great job dad. You deserve it.
Does this product also work in cleaning sunscreen off of leather? If so, could you guys make a video on that?
Absolutely, great suggestion!
Will this work for a leather suede mix and how often should I do it?
We recommend gently wiping down suede surfaces with a soft microfiber towel. Due to the sensitive nature of the material, we do not recommend using a stiff bristle brush or aggressive cleaner.
Awesome
Happy detailing!
Is it safe to use this on vinyl covers like Toyota's Softex material?
Absolutely!
Hi great vedio I want to purchase it but I'm seeing reviews getting one strong problem is the after you clean the strong smell doesnt go away. Any suggestions ???? Please
Hi there! Leather Cleaner is odorless so it doesn't leave any harsh odor and Leather Conditioner revives a subtle leather scent.
- CG Nick
Am I missing something? My leather cleaner did not foam up like that when I used it.
Which is better for a leather steering wheel, InnerClean or Leather Cleaner? Also is it okay to condition a steering wheel or just clean it?
Hi Thomas! Use Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner to remove grime and add protection then use InnerClean to maintain a clean finish.
How frequently do you recommend applying this? I just got a new car with softex leather in it. It’s parked in the sun most of the time.
Hey! Detail leather goods at least once every three months to maintain a like new look, feel and smell.
Why would you do this method over steaming your leather ?
@@ChemicalGuys ^

Absolutely!
Hey, can this product be used on leather sofas too? Sorry if thats a silly question
Hey Jason! Absolutely, use Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner to revive and maintain all leather goods.
- CG Nick
Will that product ruin suede? My Laramie seats bolsters are suede
Hey Timmy! Avoid using Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner on suede surfaces.
Do you need to wait for the cleaner to dry before applying the conditioner? The video suggests not, but I purchased the products and the cleaner label says "allow material to dry completely. On genuine leather, follow with leather conditioner?
Hey Edward! After wiping off the spent cleaner it is perfectly fine to move onto the coating process.
Hey brother could I use the leather quick detailer instead of the leather cleaner and then put the leather conditioner?
Hey David! Absolutely, it is perfectly fine to use Leather Quick Detailer before applying Leather Conditioner.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys will it hurt the leather if I use a horse hair brush with the Leather Quick Detailer?

Hey, please contact our Customer Service team.
What do you do when the leather color begins to peel?
JMA You can try to get it repaired professionally or try it yourself with leather filler, sanding and recoloring, but it’s not as simple as just cleaning and conditioning
How many layers should you do?
Hi Daniel! Depending on the condition of the leather it may be fine with one coat or if it absorbs rapidly it may take multiple coats to rejuvenate and protect.
- CG Nick
What would be a good indicator that it has absorbed enough?
After letting the conditioner sit on the surface for a moment and there is excess left behind it means the leather has been nourished and now longer dry.
I have a (Lincoln MKZ ) with severe denim stains in my vanilla leather seat. I've tried your leather cleaner full strength on a detailed brush , but it won't come off. Can you guide me on how to remove this??
Did it make any difference or not even noticeably better? Not going to waste my money on this if it doesn’t help at all.
How should I clean the brush after use?
Hey Leo! Use an all purpose cleaner and rinse with warm water to clean your detailing tools.
Is this safe to use on beige colored leather?
