I’m a detailer, this is a good method, chemical guys interior cleaner is good but not the best however it still works just fine… a good sub to this foam pad he’s using is the scrub ninja which is meant for interior detailing. It’s very similar to this pad however less abrasive. This method he’s using works just fine, it’s just a little more aggressive then what you need. This is the method to use!
@@OppKilla6523 yes, however if you frequently clean your truck just use a wet microfiber and a dry microfiber and do a good light buff/ wipe of the leather. If not then every once in a while use this method shown in the video when it gets to an overwhelming greasy, shiny finish.
@@drostly3220 I like gyeon leather cleaner and p&s xpress interior. The xpress interior was originally formulated as a leather cleaner, after realizing it was a good all purpose interior cleaner they re labeled it as a interior cleaner safe for leather.
Thank you for the video - something to keep in mind is that almost all modern leather has a coating (basically plastic) on top of it - much of which also has the color in it. Provided that the cleaner won't damage other plastics in the interior most of the car's leather is fine too. Great tip on the scrub pad - I'll be adding those to my detailing supplies now - before it was just micro fiber cloths, brushes and lots of cleaner/VLR which can end up making surfaces "sticky" even when they are clean. The only word of caution is that some steering wheels use different leather and are (ironically) less robust than the seat material you actually need to be more careful with your car's wheel than just the seats....
So i might be one of the odd ones here. I have a brand new high-end racing simulator wheel I just destroyed by wiping it with alcohol. The parts i scrubbed hard with alcohol is now shiny, and the surrounding all white. The original color is satin black. I used some oil to make the white parts satin again. but the shiny parts are still shiny after I oiled, I think it might have lost a coating of some sort. any suggestions?
Usually shiny leather were caused by too much oil, but i fear what I am experiencing, even though still "shiny" problem, might be a different from too much oil rather no oil left>?? Confusing
CORRECT, cleaning is the key, finally a good product, I use to get from my local car leather guy a different product only they can get their hands on and this is absolutely the key cleaning the leather makes wonders. Had my E55 AMG done a few years back and got a bottle but is finish and been looking ever since for alternative I really hope this is it thank you for sharing love your video and I can not comment enough how correct you are in everything you say. I know this first hand as I did mess my AMG up first buy using a so called leather cleaner that just smerred all the leather in and it got totally dirty instead and well spend hours cleaning it out I am happy finally to have found something that works thank you BUT to everyone TEST on a small arear first that is not visible as not all interior are the same - always do a test first ok
Thanks for the video, the results are truly amazing. However, you should keep in mind the this sponge is tearing away the top layer of the leather. I won't show at first, but after a couple of times, you will see little torn pieces on the surface. So just be careful.
Thanks for the advice , I just detailed my car yesterday before all the snow we got last night in coldwater .and I was just 🤔 why my leather keeps getting that shine .when it warms back up I will deffinatley be doing this cant wait .
What you are doing is scrubbing the colour coating on the leather . On the seat for instance it’s the friction of the leather and the material of your pants that makes the surface shiny. By scrubbing the leather you are dulling the colour coat , no different to sanding the duco on the car . I wouldn’t be scrubbing the leather regularly as you will eventually remove the colour coat from the leather
