Recommend me a leather cleaner.
Looking for everyone's opinion on dedicated leather cleaners.
Preferably something that can be bought in bulk quantities.
Currently looking into meguiars d181, anyone have experience with it? All opinions welcome!

Re: Recommend me a leather cleaner.
I think it first depends on how bad the leather is.

Re: Recommend me a leather cleaner.
I've been using Mckees 37 Leather shampoo 70/30. It cleans far better than I thought it would. It's also just so fun and easy to use. Has a bit of a strong leather odor which can bother some, but it dissipates. It's not cheap though...like $47/gallon I think, so I only buy on a good sale. I haven't tried D181, curious too as to how well it cleans.

I like the McKee's 37 products. The All in One Leather Lotion is fantastic, the 70/30 Shampoo has great cleaning properties, and the UV50 leaves a awesome feel. Not slippery at all. Sorry I have no experience with D181.

Re: Recommend me a leather cleaner.
I’m also enjoyed my the McKee’s leather shampoo as well. Love the smell it leaves behind and many of my customers do as well.

I use Meguiars D181. I like it enough to be on my 2nd gallon of it.. It's similar to Meguiars D101 APC @10:1, but there's very slight differences.
D181 cleans better than D101@10:1.
D181 doesn't leave that slight tacky feeling that D101 can sometimes leave behind on coated leather seats. [however that tacky feeling goes away rather quikly]
Both have scents that aren't overpowering nor do they smell like cheap fake leather... Instead they have a simple clean scent that dissipates quikly, within an hour or 2 any light scent is pretty much gone, which IMO beats fake leather any day.
Here's an equal side by side test I did between the 2. Difference in cleaning power goes to D181. But there's not a World of difference between the 2.

AVOID CG Sprayable Leather. It's the worst. Slick, shiny, and squeaky..

Great comparison! Id considered using my d101 but i was a bit hesitant as it always seems to take some dye even at low concentration.
