    Re: Can anyone post before and after pics of black leather after cleaned?

    I rarely if ever use APC of even Meguiars D181 dedicated Leather Cleaner on black leather. I instead use Meguiars D180 Leather Cleaner & Conditioner. It provides just enough cleaning power while not running the risk of drying it out of leaving any kind of residue behind. If I find the need to use a dedicated cleaner 1st, then I’ve found Megs D114 Rinseless Wash Concentrate or Mckees N914 to work surprisingly well to clean black leather interiors without drying them out or leaving residue.

    Here’s some pics after using Megs D180. When it comes to black leather I make the judgment call on the results, and this is what my customers get even if they’re so called matte people. I’ve never had any complaints. Lol.







    Now on light tan leather like this Mercedes that I’m detailing today, it’s Megs D181 Leather Cleaner. But if I was out I wouldn’t hesitate to use Megs D101 @10:1

    Do you still use coatings over or just this product? Also the cleaning and conditioning kit?

    My 17 Ram black leather seats. My wife bought me the CG kit. The Meguiars has been around since having leather furniture. I have noticed after applying either of these products, absorption is minimal on my seats. I enjoy the sheen both produce.

    Nope. I’ve gone away from leather coatings on my personal cars. Colourlock seems to do a better job of hydrating older leather. It may not last as long as a leather coating but that’s ok.

    Roping leather protector with their leather shield is the way to go on older leather.

    @Buster906
    From this picture you can barely see it but the pores are filled with little white residue. But it’s not dark, leather is only 2 years. It’s a 2018 model regardless I like your results.
