leather cleaners
#3
We're currently doing R&D on an organic leather cleaner. PM me your info and I can send you a bottle. It's quite possibly the best I've ever used in my 15 years of detailing.

I personally haven't used it, but hear good things about it.

Can I get a sample?

Cleaning / Care
The important considerations for proper leather care; is as much about (a) the state / condition of the leather you are dealing with (b) methodology used (c) product. Cleaning is a combination of all these
(a) Hydrated - use water-based products and clean surfaces with a damp towel
(b) Clean - as dirt / grit and subsequent friction cause the finish to wear.
(c) Protected - is essential as it will protect the surface finish and makes dirt easier to clean off and an ultra violet protective product (UVR) will preserve the finish. Remember you are dealing with the finished Polyurethane coating on the leather and not with the leather itself.
Always thoroughly rinse upholstery cleaners and ensure that they are allowed to dry before adding protection or use.
Leather however finished, has to allow the movement of moisture back and forth (transpiration) so the use of water- based cleaners and protectors will maintain hydration, which is essential to keeping it in pristine condition.
For many, finding the best leather care product is as simple as using what is the most popular. While popularity can sometimes be a reliable barometer, it isn’t always the correct choice. Some even make their decision based on new car’s leather fragrance alone. My best advise; research other options and products, test them and then make an objective decision based upon factual information, not hype or brand loyalty.
After all, how can you fully understand and properly use any product unless you have all the facts? I would also strongly suggest that you verify any information that I or anyone else shares with you.
