To Our Discriminating Leather Connoisseurs:

Leather is meant to be a decadent indulgence for the senses: the rich, heady aroma; its soft, luxurious resiliency; the beautiful, opulent finish—but only if cared for properly. Clues of neglect are cracks, fading and leather that is brittle to the touch. Not the treat it’s meant to be, leather in this condition is an eyesore at best and beyond hope for reparation.

What is proper leather care? Good leather care is equivalent to good skin care. Leather consists of thousands and thousands of intertwined fibers, with penetrable pores throughout—just like skin. Proper maintenance starts with cleaning the fibers. Cleaning removes fiber-severing abrasives and pore clogging dirt and dust, both of which will breakdown the leather over time and give it a less than pleasing texture and appearance.

The next step, probably even more important (as long as you’re already neat and tidy with your leather), is conditioning. This nourishes and moisturizes to lubricate individual fibers, keeping them from becoming brittle and dry. It replaces essential, natural oils that evaporate. How can you tell a good conditioner? A good conditioner will offer UV protection. Like human skin, ultra-violet rays will quickly cause deterioration of the leather and shorten its lifespan significantly. A good conditioner will be absorbed into the leather, not sit atop the surface or leave residue behind. The surface should not be oily after application. The very best conditioners are pH balanced, have stain repellants, waterproofing agents to protect from accidents.

If your car has a leather interior, obviously you have good taste and you care about the finer things in life. Leather can’t care for itself, so I’ve taken pains to locate and offer the best in leather care products to help your leather. Every few months should be plenty of time to extend the good health of your leather for years to come. This tiny bit of sacrifice will pay off big in the end—and your leather will look, smell and feel great!
