Hello everyone! So i recently just got a new car and its the first time i get leather seats on my car. Meaning i have very little to no acknowledgement leather. This is my daily driver car and i was hoping someone here can direct me to some products i could buy and use. The leather is in good condition, its practically new, so i just want to give it a light cleaning and condition it and then apply a sealant of some sort. What products would you guys recommend?


Btw; its good to be back at AG! :xyxthumbs:

Wow! That is amazing! What products would you recommend to using prior to coating with cquartz?

"Clean the surface completely from dirt, dust, and all oils and dressings, if cleaner has any by products then steam wipe with damp cloth to remove residue before allowing to dry completely.
Shake CQ Fabric & Leather Coat well
Spray on leather and then spread with CarPro-US Microfiber suede towel (4" or 8") Don't try to spread too thin but simply spread evenly.
Wait approximately one minute and lightly wipe with CarPro-US MicroFiber Suede cloth (8" or 16")
Park in the sun or use blow dryer to speed curing time
Must be fully dry and cured before subjecting to traffic or abrasion." -CarPro website

I would use whatever leather cleaner or APC you want or have found successful in the past- depending on the condition of the seats. I have had good success with Meguiars APC, Pinnacle Leather Cleaner, Mothers APC, and Chemical Guys Leather cleaner diluted 4:1.

I am not a fan of Lexol leather cleaner.

Hope this helps

Does this have an effect on the "new car smell"?
I just bought a new F150 with blue leather and want to protect it but not at the price of losing that glorious scent.

Blue leather...? I didn't know colors were offered in interiors anymore other than high end exotics!

Pics?

I have to say that I'm not a pick-up truck guy at all but I do like the F-150 Limited and yours is the nicest one I've ever seen, color combo is spot on:props:

Still hoping to get an answer about what the CQ will do to the smell.
