WG Leather care cleaner/conditioner - on Audi/BMW silk nappa leather

[mg6045]

Reading the description of the WG and Pinnacle Leather cleaners, they specify not to use on Napped leather and/or Glove soft leather.

Is the leather cleaner safe to use on Audi's "silk nappa leather" ? There is no Suede or napped leather, but I think it may qualify as glove soft leather. considering the leather is very soft and feels like its name describe's (as in soft and silky like).

I think i may be ok to use, but I dont want to risk it even a test spot on this specific vehicle.

BMW also use's the same description for there leather "silk nappa".

The Audi seats look like this :








Who would be best to contact about this ? Is there a specific rep for the Wolfgang line that I can contact at Autogeek ? and if so, could I get an email addy ? thx.

What model?

If the leather is coated you will do fine ,if its not then something like Connollys Hide Food is a great option. Remember we now carry Leathermasters too which works well on all types of leather.

Coated? Some/most GM vehicles leather have a plastic type coating, what other types of coating is there on BMW?

most leather used in automotive settings is finished (coated) and indeed has a polyeurothene type coating. Some higher models may use uncoated leather and some additional care is needed when cleaning and protecting.

For the Audi, it could be uncoated, but I doubt it unless it is the A8.

For the BMW, they're not really a high end car (I know some people wil flame me for saying that) but they're really not. The only model that is likely to have uncoated leather would be the 7 series or the M models.

Maybe there are some others out there but for the majority of BMW's I've driven they all have coated leather. Infact those awful 3 series often have vinyl instead of leather (apart from the M3)

I do know what your saying about the 3 series.

I'm referring the new 5 series. The leather is like a couch. and transfers stains easily. Even softer than the audi leather.

I am going to have to test to see if there uncoated or not, or just use the 3 step leathermaster series. But I was looking for something faster, as I dont want to have to wait the 30 minute to 1 hour wait time between steps.

the reason I ask is because both these cars have unusually soft leather's for a standard type vehicle. (meaning not extreme luxury cars)

Lately I have been using the Sonax Leatherfoam , but the red on the new Audi seat did not react very well to it. It streaked quite a bit, and did not finish off with the normal smooth feeling that product usually gives off.
