Leather Expert Leather Conditioner feeds your car leather, brings out the colour depth and leaves a satin finish. You apply it to clean leather with a sponge or cloth in circular motions, let it soak in for about five minutes and buff with a cotton cloth. You will find the Leather Expert Leather Conditioner in the shop.
What Leather Conditioner does
Leather loses oils and moisture through sun, heat and use. Once it dries out it turns stiff and cracks. Leather Conditioner works with natural oils and waxes, including beeswax and carnauba, that feed the leather and keep it supple. Leather Expert states that the conditioner has a skin-neutral pH and is alcohol-free.
Conditioner, softener or aniline cream
Not every leather needs the same. A conditioner is for healthy, pigmented leather; a softener restores stiff, dried-out leather; and an aniline cream is for open, unpigmented leather. This table helps you choose.
Product | Purpose | Which leather | How often |
|---|---|---|---|
Conditioner | Feed, keep supple | Pigmented, all colours | At least 4x a year |
Softener | Restore stiff, dried-out leather | Hardened natural leather | Only when needed |
Aniline cream | Feed without greasing | Aniline and semi-aniline | 2 to 3x a year |
How to use it
Clean first. Clean the leather with a leather cleaner and let it dry completely.
Apply in circles. Apply a thin layer with a sponge or soft cloth in round motions.
Let it soak in. Let the conditioner soak in for about five minutes.
Buff off. Wipe the excess away and buff with a clean cotton cloth for a satin finish.
Which leather and how often
Leather Expert lists the conditioner as suitable for all colours of pigmented leather, and advises feeding at least four times a year. Do not use it on suede and nubuck.
