Best wax for leather?

[markiteight]

I'm new to the forum and hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm in the process of redying my seats using the full line of Leatherique products. As a final step in the procedure they recommend "several coats of carnauba wax for a rich luster and depth of color."

I'm curious if there is a wax that stands our as being particularly good for this unusual application. I'm leaning toward Collinite #845 because of its reputation for durability or Poorboy's World Natty's Blue. I have a dark color car so it seems like both products would be useful on my paint after the seat application is done.

What do you think? Is there a particular product well suited to this application or will any ol' carnauba do the trick?

Car is a '95 Audi S6 Avant with "Silk Napa" leather interior, FWIW.

Thanks!

Isn't the "Silk Napa" a coated/protected
type of leather?

Anyway...
Instead of Leatherique...I'll suggest you go with:
Leather Master Strong Leather Care Kit, strong leather cleaner, Leather Master leather care, leather seat cleaner


•Even if you must, or insist, on using the
Leatherique process...
-Use the below listed leather protector instead
of using any Carnauba Wax.
Leather Master Car Interior Leather Protection Cream, leather conditioner, leather protector

Well said Bob couldn't agree more

Thanks for the reply, Bob. The seats have already been rejuvenated, sanded, filled, and dyed with the Leatherique products. The seats came out of the car appearing as if they had never been maintained in the car's 20 year, 250,000 mile life.



The leather surface was cardboard dry and full of cracks. The Leatherique products (and considerable elbow grease) have done a spectacular job of bring these seats back to almost new condition.



I'm curious, what is it about Leatherique's products that you don't like? Their website is a joke, as is their customer service, but I've been thoroughly impressed with their products so far.

Outstanding transformation👍🏽
I think it's interesting they actually recommend waxing the leather as a final step. [in a good way] This confirms that using D156 on interior surfaces including leather seats is not an outlandish idea. [credit to Darren from Auto Fetish]

I love watching all detail YouTube guys.

I can't watch him, he talks about everything else but the what's on the title of the video .

He made a nanoskin sponge review and it was a 20 minute video talking about nothing to do with the nanoskin sponge.

And he says his name more then 5 times each video lol.

Stunning turnaround!! Great job, you should be very proud! Obviously the process worked very well, I would continue to follow the manufactures recommendations.

•Never said I don't like Leatherique products.

•Wish I would have seen the before pictures
of the unrestored seats (which appears to
had already lost their protective top-coat,
along with sustaining other damages) prior
to my suggesting any leather cleaning and
protection products:

There is a big difference between product
recommendations for leather restoration
projects, and leather Maintenance, IMO.
