REVIEW - best products to keep up Coral leather

Hi Guys - Just wanted to give a review on Leather Master Leather Care Bundle found here .. I have been reading reviews and searching for the best leather cleaner to clean up and keep my coral interior looking new. I finally pulled the trigger on the Leather Master Leather Care Bundle. My leather wasn't really bad but I started to get some jean stains on the driver seat that was driving me nuts!

Before pictures:



After using the soft cleaner the leather already looked brand new! After the vital conditioner the leather had it's brand new feeling again! The protector I guess is just doing what it suppose to nothing looks/feel different after applying. NO GREASY/SHINNY leftovers!!!

Final review... Illl never use anything other than this stuff on my leather anything! It's great and cheap and no crappy shinny leftovers.

I use the same products, throw in some leather master vital every 6 months to get rid of any leather on plastic squeaking. Cheers!

Will be doing this this weekend! Coral is already showing signs of discoloration @ 2500 miles! I'm sure the leather masters will clean it right up.

I cleaned mine last weekend at 2700 miles. When I first drove it home call me cheap but I bought a black towel just for the seat cut 2 holes in the top slid the headrest posts though and it worked amazing as a seat cover. Only was getting slight discoloration on the drivers bolster left but still cleaned the whole seat and still looks amazing. I hate that nowhere makes form fittind seat covers but the towel does its job well and keeps my seat almost new constantly.

Why go to that extreme? Take care of your leather and it will last a long time, there's no sense covering it with a towel.

Because I'm just super anal thats all. I didn't want the seat to loose that brand new textured feel as apposed to when they start to feel smooth from people sitting in them lol. But seriously though because of my job. I work in aircraft maintenance and sometimes leave work fairly dirty with oil or hydro on my pants. I even keep a couple pair of rubber gloves in the glove box incas my hands get very black ans soap won't wash it all. I don't want any of that gunk soaking into my interior bro. I also have weather tech floor mats. And once again just cuz I'm super anal lol

I hate to bump an old thread, but would you all recommend Leather Masters products for Boston Leather seats? My (limited) understanding is that Boston leather is aniline/coated leather, so most of the Leather Masters products are pretty well suited for this, correct?

Protection - is essential as it will protect the surface finish, without hindering transpiration, while acting as a sacrificial layer; this way you are not actually cleaning the Leather's original surface, but cleaning from the surface of the protection. It also makes dirt easier to clean off

Leather Master™ - Protection Cream (a Scotchgard™ type product specifically formulated for lather) the polymers penetrate the surface of finished leather and cross-link to form a durable protective film that is breathable, allowing transpiration and keeps the leather supple. Being aqueous (water- based) it restores moisture to finished leather and provides a protective sacrificial barrier against all kinds of soiling, water, oil, alcohol-based stains and perspiration marks, so you are cleaning the protective layer

I have both these products and the Swissvax Leather Cleaner and they are both excellent.

I ended up ordering the LM's Strong Leather Cleaner Foam Pump and LM's Leather Protection Cream. Will be applying as soon as it comes in!
