How to Guide: Neglected Leather Rejuvenation

[Swainey32]

Great write up but using the Leatherique Oil after the Duragloss cleaner is doing the same thing twice. The Leatherique system is different to the norm in that you apply the conditioner first then the cleaner. The reason why is because the conditioning oil forces all the dirt and gunk out of the pores of the leather and the cleaner removes all of that and conditions the leather at the same time. You would be better off following with the Duragloss conditioner.

Car Car Products website explains the Leatherique system in more depth.

Yes this is correct but the seats were heavily soiled so starting off with the duragloss shampoo meant I could get a solid amount of grime out with a product that's easy to apply (spray rather than oil) with a leather brush and remove, then applying the leatherique to remove the final amount of grime from the leather and bring them back to life, being more thorough is never a bad thing. And on the plus side duragloss is cheaper than leatherique so needed less product.

If you want to go full leatherique then yes you can do the rejuvinator oil followed up with the pristine clean.

Like all things, it's a matter of personal taste, I've always trusted duragloss but also wanted to try out the leatherique products as I'd read some awesome reviews.

I see your logic now.

I use the Duragloss combo myself, haven't found anything better for the price.

Leatherique is awesome but a PITA to use.
