Best way to Safely Clean your leather seats | DIY Clean and Condition

[@jbrooker78]

You could always sand down the crevice tool edges to prevent it from doing any damage to the leather :)

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

An Old School Tool for cleaning leather is Woolite. Dilute 4:1, spray onto seat, then use a Color Lock Brush as Josh did. Saves $$$, but it is a very mild soap, recommended by some manufacturers. "Keep It Simple Stupid" KISS!

This guy has the best detailing videos in the business

[@imjoshv]

Thanks so much!

[@SweetNsourSugar118]

Thank you so much for showing perforated seats. My new car has them and I literally hate it. They get so dirty! I’ll never make that mistake again! But I’m glad I can try to clean it better now.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Buy a leather seat cover that doesn’t have the holes.

[@briandewitt163]

Thanks for another great video, Josh 🎉 When you show the dental tool type … tool, would it be possible to go into a perforation hole next to the clogged one and to try to push out the debris from underneath? You could have the vacuum running to try to get the debris.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Thanks, I just picked up a 2012 Ford Escape with leather seats. I'm going to try this.

[@grandmasterkevv]

The real nightmare is when I had to remove glitter from the perforations in the leather seats lol that bigger flake glitter tho, so the pieces were the same size as the holes and would get stuck. It was not fun and took a long time lol. I also did the whole tapping the seat part cause I noticed it would help things loosen up. I only had a tooth brush and a vaccum haha

[@CC_Marauder]

Don't let the glitter dripping strippers/street walkers in your ride. Problem solved.

[@dtna]

Would you please do a video on cleaning "Alcantara"? Thnx.

[@imjoshv]

Sure can.

[@johnnyvue2716]

Same here I came across a vehicle and had to research it. End up using a soft horse brush to agitate it.

[@millyharbinger8897]

@@johnnyvue2716 A good brand is color guard they are high knowledge in all of leather and Alcántara they also work with closely to German car manufacturers

Colourlock NOT Color Guard

Hey Josh, you chemical guys link went to the Lexol product. Just FYI.

[@bonniebon7335]

Ty josh. I have this model car but without the perforations

[@TheMorrisventus]

2 weeks ago, I spilled Mango Dragon fruit from Starbucks on my 1 month old Ioniq 5... perforated.. its been cleaned, but was nightmare. Was wondering if you can make video when spill happens on perforated seats, and perhaps cleaning cushions too? Haha

[@JJ-ud1xr]

Hey can you please explain how it was cleaned? I spilled protein shake on mine and now it smells. Thank you

[@autophile-cv621]

Good video Josh. One question. If the leather has a coating over it, are you actually conditioning the leather? or just dressing the coating? I'm confused.

[@victorpoliashov2467]

I noticed all 3 links for the product link to Lexol leather kit. They bottles don’t look like what your using. Can you give links to what you actually used in video or what you currently recommend? Josh always enjoy watching your content thanks for all you do.

[@MagicMikesDetailing]

There is only one in youtube and the gentleman is cleannig rocks of his castle!!!! Pleaseee!!! Thanks bro and continue the good work. Regards from Brazil!!

Can you give an update on the products. None of them are available to buy anymore.

[@drumhead14]

What are the small hand held brushes u use. I see you using them all the time.

[@w124mercedes7]

I have 2 1987 mercedes I need to detail the interior on. What is the best leather cleaner. Leather conditioner to soften the leather and the best leather dye. I see some people say to condition the leather then dye the leather and others say to dye it first then conditioner.. what is the best way to do this. And suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. ROBERT

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot5939]

Would it be of benefit to turn the air on for the seats while reapplying? I got the same style just those holes scare me fear of plugging them up

[@need2knowbases459]

I have a Nissan sentra and the interior door has leather in and I used goof off on and I don't know how to remove the greasy sticky residue on it , do you have any idea what i should use?

[@MilkCurds]

I use 303 and that stuff works like a charm paired with the interior protectant on my 2010 maxima

[@dlj1285]

So your saying to use a conditioner that can’t actually do anything because of the coating on the leather. Got it.

[@music-wd4ed]

How often It is advisable to use the leather cleaner and the Conditioner ?

[@willc2935]

can you pleasee figure out a way to correct streaking from a leather ceramic coat? there's hardly any information out there on correction and i made a nightmare of my seats using gyeon leather shield. thank you!

I suggest seat covers!

[@davidboyce6427]

Any recommendations on removing stains from leather? It a stained drink possibility ? The vehicle is a Honda Pilot? Thanks Josh in advance 👍

[@thalegacy6]

Your manual should tell you. My lady has the Touring Pilot with leather seats, we use woolite.

[@alok27ish]

Hi, How can I remove Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner from my leather seats and restore the original matte finish? Would using a leather cleaner be effective, or should I continue with a weekly cleaning routine and wait for the conditioner to wear off naturally over time? Additionally, would using a matte finish leather protector in the future help maintain the desired look?

[@mikedenkinger9570]

Go in this sequence: Leather cleaner>Hydroleather ceramic>wait three hours>leather conditioner

[@steveandrushko75]

What if you have an interior sealer on all leather?

[@mutatedgenome]

Links for the Technicians Choice products?

[@MrChuckwagon55]

What Superclean dilution would you use on the leather? Before the dressing.

[@Alextrendz]

Hey, the dilution I use is 1:10 for stains that are not bad but worse case scenario ( if they don’t get out I use ) 1:5

[@kateputerbaugh3666]

How do you recommend getting leather conditioner out of the perforated holes? Had my car detailed now they all look clogged 😢

[@imjoshv]

Yea thats a pain... Just some leather cleaner and compressed air and a vacuum should do it! Next time when conditioning, start on the side of the seats where there are no perforations to get the product to soak in then move over the perforated areas and it wont clog them

[@vankk7356]

How long does the protection last? And how to maintain it clean and conditioned until we have to repeat the process?

[@Assimilator702]

Use a leather touch up product between deep cleans. Keep the leather free of debris by vacuuming regularly. You’ll know when the leather needs another full cleaning.

[@Secret_Sun33]

So weird skipping an Ad from the same channel im watching.

[@jdresh5065]

Wondering why you’d spray directly onto seats? With all the technology etc would spray damage seats?

[@thman6453]

Steam safe for leather?

[@as680783]

Yes. Wrap a microfibre cloth around the end.

[@nikkiau1]

Would the air duster cans you use on keyboards be close to the same amount of pressure as the compressed air you used?

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

Negative. Not economic. You’ll use up can after can detailing. Cheap air compressor is the best way.

[@nikkiau1]

Omg yes those little holes they get full of like say crumbs 😭😭

[@MasrSR]

Is it unsafe to use general dressings on "real" leather ? Let's say Silk Shine or 303

[@miketampabay9446]

I've been using VRP on my leather and my clients leather for years. Works great. Just make sure you buff it down or it will get sticky

[@ricardobarradas5941]

Lexol and chemical guys link are the same

[@matrixmulisha]

I just bought a used truck and the previous owner used Armor All on the leather seats and dash. How would I remove it? Too shiny and slippery for me.

[@chrisrefaei]

Try APC DILUTED 10:1 (WATER:APC) or a all interior cleaner then dress the seats and dash with a satin finish dressing that has UV protection in it

[@matrixmulisha]

@@chrisrefaei thank you

[@chrisrefaei]

@@matrixmulisha my pleasure o forgot to mention use 2 microfiber towels one to help spread the cleaner and the other towel get it damp then wring it out, that'll be your wipe towel. The water help neutralize the cleaner

[@anthonyduran5778]

[@TheSvoboda]

Good of Keegan Bradley to stop playing golf long enough to teach us how to detail.

[@brandonroldan12]

you are not afraid that the exces cleaner will get into the cloth under the leather and soaks and maybe mold through the perforations?

[@josemata3845]

That’s a 2014 it has the mono shifter

[@SDSFishing]

Hey Josh what would be your price range for a leather job like that be from a coupe to a large SUV. I’m starting a mobile detailing business and trying to figure out pricing.

[@veronicarios567]

Does the compressed air blow into the little hole or it sucks it up like a vacuum?

[@CC_Marauder]

It blows. You'll figure it out.

[@garyz0611]

I have never used conditioner on any of my leather seats on my cars because they are coated and when they’re coated they are waterproof therefore no conditioner can penetrate at least that is my understanding

[@The1Music2MyEars]

I’ve been told if the coating is still intact via water beading, you need a leather protectant then instead of conditioner. I will add that Chemical guys have a leather ceramic coating

[@CC_Marauder]

Stay away from anything made by Chemical Guys.

[@tjac4801]

Oooh I didn’t know my seats go back that far, date night with the wife about to change lol

[@abstreebee]

perforated leather is any detailers bane

[@millyharbinger8897]

Applying a conditioner on the leather seats so often is not a good idea if you did it every other week it should be fine but I personally do mines at the end of each month

[@CC_Marauder]

Do mineS? smdh

[@blackhawk32b4]

I was told all leather car seats have a clear coating and conditioner does nothing. Only need to clean.

[@imjoshv]

They do! That’s very true. But it will still help a bit and it’s important to focus around the seams where the leather is punctured for the thread or around perforations. The conditioner can get in to those spots and help prolong the life and prevent it from stiffening up.

[@Kilo5910420]

Holy yapping bout a whole lot of nothing

I had to put you in 1.5x speed. You talk too much. Get to the point!

We like our heated and air conditioned seats that require perforated leather. Thanks for playing.
