The more details, the better. Thanks for this!

My Review: I used meguiars leather conditioner all summer last year and here's what you can expect from it: -don't expect it to clean; it mainly just conditions -doesn't last that long either, that's why meguiars recommends you use it 2-3 times/year -BUT on the bright side it looks good (especially on black leather) AND it smells good! It's the only leather conditioner I've found that smells good.

Thank you for taking the time (contrary to many others' comments) to educate and inform regarding car seat leather composition and wear durability. Great video and I really appreciate your shared effort and energy to help me be a better maintainer of my car; WELL DONE!!

Thanks for the hatting! I did the APC with leather soft brush, and finished with X-Wax. Pecan seats in an F150 5 years of dirt. Your tips allowed me to renew them...Looks brand new! Thanks again....

Thanks Darren. Very thorough analysis. I appreciate your in depth approach. Many others I see here from the rude comments are probably the same kind of person who runs out to buy a gun and then thinks the instruction manual should be comprised of a 5" x 3" piece of paper that has the words "Pull Trigger" on it. Just went out and got the Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather that you have in the video. Thanks again!

i like the elaboration and detail in your explanation, because i care about my car and i wanna know it all :)

Good video I personally liked it and learned things about leather now that i have leather couches and leather seats in car thank you

I think when they mean by "clean surface" is that rid any debris that is in the cracks and/or any sticky stains, like a quick vacuum and a wipe down with soapy water. That would be my first thought.

absolutely perfect video

does the coating eventually wear off? if so then the conditioning would be very important.

Very informative video! Thanks!!

Darren, can laundry detergent be used to clean leather seats? What would you use without having to use any dedicated leather cleaning sprays?

Great Video, Like the long video's. I think the longer the video, the more you are open to share.

What about stitching on steering wheel or some parts of the seats? Any suggestions on how to take care of it or what to avoid when cleaning around it?

Great video Darren!

Thank you for the video. Very informative. Real quick question though. I purchased the Meguiars (however u spell it) leather cleaning and conditioning wipes. I also purchased a brand new Maxima about 2 1\2 weeks ago. I was wanting to clean my new car for the first time...well the Meguiars seemed to not only make my ascot leather appear shiny but also streaky to the point that it looked dirty. My leather looked tons better before I cleaned it! Any advice on how I can correct this without having to take my car somewhere for a detail it shouldn't need yet? Thanks for your help!

I'd use a weak solution of woolite and warm water. Soak a microfiber towel in the soapy solution (don't spray leather directly) and work up a few suds. Maximas are nice cars. I'm jealous.

I am impressed w/ your knowledge of leather. I repair and recolor leather professionally, and appreciate how confusing it can be to understand leather types, terms, and what is safe, effective care. Below is an overview of what is safe and effective - and why it's so freaking confusing to sort out. As you said, car leather almost always has a protective coating. But did you know it's invisibly porous? So every liquid applied on top, some reaches the leather below - and the residues remains forever. This is very long- but you like detail, right? There are 5 things that cause deterioration (overstretching and breaking of fibers) of the leather itself: 1) high heat, 2) UV light (direct sun), 3) harsh chemicals, 4) flexing / physical wear 5) dryness. 1 +2) Cars in normal use will get a lot of high heat and some UV from the sun. To avoid both: do not steam clean (!), park indoors, in shade, in temp-controlled garage, use sun shades on windshield. In a perfect world, treat it like your baby is living in it. 3) To avoid harsh chemicals: only use cleaners and moisturizer / conditioners specifically labeled for use on leather car upholstery (not shoes, saddles, baseball mitts). The better conditioners made for use in cars will include a little UV-blocker. Check out this video re: importance of pH and problems APC's can cause: Using household cleaners on leather kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIOlvI-vfpnXYrw.html CLEANING: A. Liquid leather cleaners are made to clean the protective color coating. Leather itself cannot be cleaned. As you know, there is a POLYMER-BASED color coating applied in 2 layers: a clear, denser top coat over a softer opaque color layer. It's very thin, supple and tough, resists water, wear and fading. For comfort and suppleness, it's formulated to have microscopic pores throughout the entire polymer structure. These allow the leather below the coating to absorb some sweat, reducing clamminess, and they let it dry out. Comfort level is a compromise between raw leather and vinyl. B. Only cleaners labeled for leather upholstery are safe. Why? Chemistries made safe both the leather and the color coating. ALL liquids passes through the coating, and are absorbed in the leather. Offending liquids can't be removed once absorbed in leather, and their harmful residues continue to quietly rot leather forever. - Leather is sensitive to pH (acidity) Leather’s pH is 4.5. Exposure to a pH too high or too low will destroy some leather fibers. The more concentrated or frequent, the faster it goes. Ever see a chair with headrest or armrest rotted through, disintegrating or looking dark, cracked and stiff? That's the effect of pH 5 to 6 of most body oils over 10 to 20 years - a difference of only .5 to 1.5 on the pH scale = 5 to 50 x more basic. Now imagine what pH 11.5 to 12.5 does = most all-purpose cleaners, a difference of 7.5 to 8.5 = 50 million to 500 million x more basic than leather. Even in a dilute solution, that's like putting a little oven cleaner in your bathwater - and never being able to rinse it off. - The color coating can be bleached, dissolved, become permanently tacky, or peel off in reaction to chemicals in some all-purpose cleaners. Alcohol (window cleaners) and acetone are solvents. But mineral spirits and naphtha for spot removal are usually safe. - Cracks, seams, cuts, and worn areas absorb a lot more than the rest, consequently harmful products degrade those places faster. Usually the damage starts slow, but accelerates as more damaging product is added and the previous has more time to do damage. People don't detect that the leather deteriorated faster than it should. Add to that the effect of heat, UV and dryness, and car interiors degrade quickly at the weakest spots. 4) Car take a beating from flexing and sliding scuffing. No way to avoid. Preventing dryness maintains maximum strength of the leather fibers to resist these stresses as long as possible. Or add seat covers and lose weight. 5) To prevent dryness, apply a moisturizer / conditioner at least 4 x / year if often and parked in sun or in hot garage. If parked in sun daily, do this every week. Leather needs to have a 25% (by weight) moisture and conditioner content. Even leather with a water-resistant protective color coating is drying out all the time. To preserve that moisture level, restore it at the surface frequently with a moisturizer / conditioner, like topping off your oil. Don't wait for the "red light" signs like stiffness and cracking to begin. Unfortunately, it will not seem like moisture is low until it's very low and restoring enough will require a leather repair professional, and may not be worth it. Leather types: The key difference for cleaning and care is absorbency. > Absorbent leather (aniline has no sheen, semi-aniline has sheen): feels soft like peach skin, but stains permanently easily and can't be cleaned - It’s like raw wood, except you can't sand off the stains. It fades very fast in direct sun - not great for car seats. Those types are sold only on the most expensive seats - I guess if you can afford them, you can afford to replace them sooner. >Protected Leather, aka coated, pigmented (usually semi-gloss sheen): Much more practical, used on most leather furniture and car upholstery. Has a durable polymer-based color coating that acts like a 2nd skin: it's supple and stretches with the leather, but resists water, wear and fading well. Color coating for cars is engineered to handle the higher wear, heat, and UV light, but those force

Great tip I made my cloth a little bit damp made it a bit easier to spread it out more even

Please help!!! My wife used the Gold Class leather wipes on our brand new Suburban dashboard...leaving it with a bright shine vs the original mat finish...any ideas of getting that stuff off???

The good thing about a little more slippery surface, bolsters primarely, is that it wears a lot less when getting in an getting out. So if the differance in shine is neglectable it is really a good imoo

By clean surface they mean one that has no dust, crumbs, paper fibers, or anything like that. I have used this exact product on some Leather Bracelets and it has worked great. I used it to protect the bracelets from everyday wear. The stuff that is on the towel may not be dirt. When I did this on my bracelets I bought, color was picked up by the cleaner/conditioner. The color did not look different then before I used the product. I had a blue and brown bracelet and my cloth had blue and brown stains. No affect to color. Good Product for what I need which is protecting my leather goods.

Can I use Meguiars APC and Meguiars Leather Conditioner on suede seats? The center of the seats are suede and the sides of the seating surface is leather.

I just purchased a new set of leather seats, should I condition them right out of the box? Or wait till thy actually get some grime to clean them and condition them? Thank you.

Your videos are very helpful and you have great knowledge and efficiency of detailing but man you really gotta pack that info into a smaller chunk. You sometimes use 3-4 minutes on what can be said with just two sentences. keep in mind the modern day internet crowd has the attention span of goldfish. So a little prep work before recording with bullet points scribbled on a piece of note right beside your camera will go a long way. This complete freestyle isn't proving efficient.

I'm not a fan of the shiny look, it screams used car lot, I have an '06 300 c with 50k miles and I try not to use it too much, when I bought it last April, the seats looked brand new, after a year, it's getting that smoothed out worn look, does maguire's conditioner help restore the seats to the original matted look?

Does the meguiars rot the stiching? Eg the stiching might soak up some of the product and rot it ?

@autofetishdetail

UV lighting is going to be minimum except for the dash and back section underneath the rear window. The whole UV protection thing is dabateable to me. I know it is an easy thing to accept; especially when you think about sun-block for your skin, but I am a bit skeptical especially since it is labeling in so many of the wax products, and have yet to find a single manufacturer that can actually prove the chemical they use that will filter out UV rays. I think it is more believable with interiors if the material is porous and can "accept" a product into the material just as your skin can absorb the sunblock.Most of car leather is coated with a water-based clear coating for durability, so it would suggest that any product applied to the coated material is simply siting on top, rather than actually penetrating and absorbing into it.

And for this reason, I wash mine in hot (to get them cleaner) and dry under normal heat.

Nah. I'd dilute some woolite before I'd use liquid dish soap. And then again, they sell leather cleaners, so why not just go that route?

Not to be picky, but before you use any product (cleaner/conditioner/polish) on leather it needs to be CLEAN!. This means to brush or vacuum the seats and ensure that all dirt, crumbs or whatever is removed BEFORE you clean it with the product. Mechanically clean it first before chemically cleaning it. Other than that a great informative video about leather care especially as regards the "clear protective coating" that all car leather comes with.

I Love your vídeos! I have some questions... Based on your experiênce is the leather found on a Mercedes E420 1997 the same as yours or the newer ones? Hope you are acquainted with my car interior because It was imported from Germany. I am a bit confused on the dash/door leather x seat leather for It seems to be different. Sometimes I think the dash and Doors até vinyl other times I think they are of a different Kind of leather... I Just dont know... I have been using Dub for all interior but fabric. Sometimes I apply Meguiars rich leather after Dub is dried. Is this ok? Vídeos request (If I may...) I would also like to see a vídeo from you on DUB Developed by Meguiar’s Interior Clean & Shine There are no good reviews on It... A Second request on review would be Meguiar’s Black Wax for black cars whenever possible. What do you think about using WD40 for cleaning engines, for door rubbers, wheels... It would be so good to see a vídeo on these things. Lastly, how about the use of coconut soap + warm water for cleaning the leather seats? The same for the glass windows that have a darkening layer (film, películe) on the inside. Generally Window cleaners are not applied to them because they can be damaged (?). Thank you (from Brazil)

After wiping dry, you can take a portable vacuum cleaner and very gently, vacuum over the perforated area. But, the neat thing about these heated/cooled seats is to start the car and let the flowing air dry those little holes.

You are correct in applying caution to a 1991 car. It is very likely that it could be uncoated so yes, I would apply some caution and test first or start mild and proceed from there. The thing with black leather is that as you are cleaning, it may be hard to identify if you are pulling up just dirt, or a combination of dirt and some leather color/dye....so go carefully. You will likely find it's not a problem unless the leather is heavily worn out already. Thanks for tuning in!

The simple answer is no. At times, if you clean very thoroughly, some will diminish, but eventually, they become permanent just like the creases in the palm of your hand. Now dirt collects in the deep creases and traditional leather cleaners are less than effective at getting the leather "really clean". There are guys that claim you can use a hair dryer to heat a section up and mold the crease marks away, but this is usually in the context of when you have set something on the seat and it has left an impression there; such as a car seat.

He's right - not possible. I repair and recolor leather furniture professionally. You can heat leather gently and it will shrink a little, but this dries out the leather - which you can't detect - and makes fibers brittle. They will break in that area sooner then normal if subject to frequent flexing. Heating can only help a very light crease, which may look a little better for a short time, but speeds cracking = pointless. So this is OK for dents where leather is not flexed - sides and back. To heat, use a blow dryer on high or variable-temperature heat gun set very low - so you can hold your hand in front. Blow ACROSS, not straight at the leather with your hand in the heat right next to the dent. If you hurt, lower the temp or back the heat away. It usually takes minutes to have much improvement, only help shallow, smooth dents, and a little denting will probably return when it cools. Why? Leather is a dense 3-D matrix of collagen protein fibers, just like our skin. It has a very limited ability to return to size after stretching (elasticity). There are 2 permanent changes that happen as leather is repeatedly flexed: fibers overstretch (dents, creases, bagginess) and fibers break (bagginess, fine wrinkles, cracks, fissures, tears). As fibers overstretch creases get deeper. When fibers break in high numbers near each other, the leather cracks at the line of flexion. It may stretch sideways (weaker now) and deepen into a fissure. A general crepe-like texture of wrinkles, like eldery skin, means the leather is weaker in the whole area, and will be cracking and tearing next.

Watch just 10:30 to 10:32 and skip the rest. You won’t have missed a thing.

Dude must love the sound of his own voice. Holt shite ask this guy what time it is and he'll tell you how to build a wristwatch.

Subscribing just cause I can't stop laughing 😂

Very informative, but could have been done in half the time. Took more than 8 minutes to actually get some work done. Thanks, though!

i love how he makes everyone and everything feels bad. hahaha

Great video, very informative. Probably could have wrapped it up in 5mins and had the same impact, probably more likes. Anyway, this video is 6yrs old, I'm sure you've grown a lot since then :)

Get to the point, didnt see the product in action for long

Wow, Darren, I've watched some of your other video's and find that you do tend to wing it and get off-topic a bit, but this one is particularly bad. I would recommend you take this down because the experience of watching it could prevent people from watching your other, better ones. Re-do this one and keep it to 3-5 minutes! If you want to stray and/or further educate your viewers, do it at the end of the covered topic ("All right, that covers our Meguiar's demo and review - if you're interested, stick around for some more useful information on leather and leather care") so people can choose to listen or not but they still go away knowing you gave them the information they were seeking, and because you gave them the option to keep watching, they will likely watch you again. btw - read about your injury on the web page and hope you have recovered well!

get on with it!!!!

Love your sense of humor, ignorance versus common sense, lol.

Wow!!! That took forever

why so long

Edit this to under 5 min. and it will a better vid.

So long videos! :)
