Leather Master vs. Leatherique

**kdubski** · 12-15-2016, 04:00 PM

I frequently use spray on leather products on client cars (what they wish for). For the occasional enthusiast, I will up sell Leatherique. Now for myself, I am torn between Leather Masters and Leatherique.

Obviously, leatherique has huge market presence due to it being carried by the big dog detailing venders (Autogeek, Autopia, Detailed Image, etc). However, is it really the "best" on the market? I'd like the opinions of those who have used both.

The car in question is a 2004 BMW 3 series who's leather has never been conditioned and is beginning to age. I JUST ran out of leatherique, so wanting to get truly the best treatment for my new car.

I have never used Leather Masters but Leatherique has saved some pretty expensive seats, wallets, shoes, purses, and other leather goods for me. The downside is the best results come mid summer.

Leatherique for the win on aged leather.

^^ this. I used it on a 20yr old very dried out interior that didn't crack but felt so tough and dry that it was going to any day. Did the treatment in summer, wrapped the seats in plastic wrap after treating them and left the car in the sun.

The next day I removed the plastic and 99% of the product soaked in. Wiped down, buffed and the seats were super soft and like new. Owner has since kept up on the interior and if you saw it today you'd swear it was well cared for it's entire life.

What brand name of leather does
it have...the "Dakota"?

If so, it's a coated/protected type
of leather: no conditioner is needed.
Just clean & protect.

Leather Master's products are what
I use on this type of Leather. This is
the kit I like:
Leather Master Car Leather Protection & Cleaner Kit, Leather Master Ink Away Ink Remover, ink lifter, leather cleaner, leather protection
