Leather Expert Leather Cleaner is a water-based cleaner for smooth, pigmented car leather. You apply it with a sponge or soft brush, let it dwell for about half a minute and wipe the loosened dirt away with a microfiber cloth. After that you feed the leather again. You will find the Leather Expert Leather Cleaner in the shop.
What Leather Cleaner does
Car leather picks up skin oils, dust and hand cream all day long. That grime settles into the pores and leaves the leather dull, sticky and greyed. Leather Cleaner dissolves that surface dirt and neutralises unpleasant smells. The cleaner is water-based and works without alcohol or solvents, so it does not attack the colour layer or the finish.
Mild or strong cleaner
For normal upkeep the mild Leather Cleaner is the right choice. For ingrained, greyed or years-old dirt you reach for the stronger Leather Expert Leather Strong Cleaner. The table shows the difference.

How to use it
Test first. Try the cleaner on a hidden spot to be sure of colour and material.
Apply. Put some product on a damp sponge or soft brush and work panel by panel.
Let it dwell briefly. Let the cleaner sit for about thirty seconds so the dirt loosens.
Wipe off. Wipe the loosened dirt away with a clean, lightly damp microfiber cloth and let the leather dry.
