Is leatherique enough to clean dirty beige seats?

Hello everyone!


I might have to do a ml350 with dirty beige leather seats and I'm just wondering if using the leatherique kit would be enough ? I haven't really done any dirty beige seats yet.

Thanks!

This is what the int looks like ( pic taken from google)

you'd be amazed at what Leatherique will pull out, but its Messy and you need to follow the directions.

Leatherique is quite unique as you condition first and than clean.

Forgo that kit in favor of this $25.00 Leather Masters Kit:
Leather Master Car Leather Protection & Cleaner Kit, Leather Master Ink Away Ink Remover, ink lifter, leather cleaner, leather protection

It won't necessitate: Leatherique's byzantine grimoire...in order for its usage.

I have a most of the Leather Master products and I'm very happy with them all. I don't have leather in my personal vehicles so I only use it on customers cars. Like others mentioned, Leatherique is messy but I've never used it.

I had a 02 Chrysler 300 with tan leather and I used the leatherique system on it let the RO sit in the sun all day and transformation was amazing.

Leatherique is my go to for neglected leather

Re: Is leatherique enough to clean dirty beige seats?

Bob have you personally compared the 2 kits you mention?
If so I am assuming the LM is easier to use, quicker, less messy, etc but how are end results?

-Thanks for asking...I have used both.

-My usage of LM's has always rendered excellent 'end results'...
without, as you and others have mentioned: the messiness.

(I'll add: black-trash-bagging, sun/solar/heat dependency, "working-time", among others...
one of these "processes" mentioned in below post---can't confirm the 'bagging', or not)

-Of course, this is just my experiences with these products...YMMV.

+1 LeatherMasters

IME, LeatherMasters is a superior solution. It has a distinct advantage on lighter colored leathers in that it uses a fluorocarbon protectant that stops dye transfer in its tracks.

As mentioned, LM does not require greasing up the seats and parking in the sun for hours to then use a cleaner to remove all the gunk.

The LM Leather Cleaner just works as you would expect, fast and effective. The LM Protection Cream goes on thin and dries quickly. It leaves the leather silky smooth and looking like new.
