Chemical GuysSPI_109_16 Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Kit for Use on Leather Apparel, Furniture, Car Interiors, Shoes, Boots, Bags & More (2 - 16 fl oz Bottles)

My girlfriend's Fusion has been neglected for the 2+ years that she has owned it and I finally got a chance to work on the seats a bit. For reference, I didn't dilute this product at all when I used it. Chemical Guys has some videos on YouTube that suggest cutting this 6:1 or 3:1, depending on how dirty the leather is, etc. - 6:1 for maintenance cleaning, 3:1 for moderate cleaning, etc. I don't know if they mention using it straight out of the bottle or not, but that's what I did.Rear seats don't get used much, more of a storage area, so I started there. Pulled some dirt, but not much, as expected. Great to see that it didn't pull any color off of the black leather at the same time. Didn't do any damage to the leather at all. Just sprayed some of the cleaner on a bit on a microfiber towel and scrubbed lightly at first, then a little harder to see if that made much of a difference (it really didn't). Then I put a couple of pea-sized dots of the conditioner on a different microfiber towel and worked it into the freshly-cleaned leather. Didn't notice a huge difference on the rear seats, as they hadn't seen much abuse (aside from a 6-year old nephew in the back once or twice, never sat in, nothing dumped on them, etc.).Now, the front seats... wow. Didn't get much done on these just yet, but I need to find the time do the rest. I started on the bolster section of the seat bottom - the one that your butt and leg slide on when you're getting in and out of the car, which is usually the first one to deteriorate, crack, and split over time. Glad that I was using the cleaner without diluting it, because MAN was this dirty... I'm sure that getting in and out of the car after the gym a couple times each week didn't help, but this seat was seriously dirty...I worked just that section by spraying a microfiber towel and really had to put quite a bit of cleaner on it to get it to break down all of the oils and dirt in the leather. One had swipe turned my green towel almost black where I was putting pressure on it with my hand... Kept spraying clean areas of the towel, putting some mild pressure on the seat and rubbing the cleaner in and I was pulling out some serious dirt... half of one side of the microfiber towel was super dirty when I got done, and that was just one section of the seat! Probably a 3-4" x 18" piece of leather... Anyway, she was getting ready to head out, so I got that section fairly clean, then put a couple of dabs of conditioner on the other microfiber towel to work that in, as I didn't want to leave it unprotected until I got another chance to work on it. Rubbed the conditioner in, got a little bit of dirt transfer from it, so I still have work to do on it, but what a difference...Just after cleaning one section of a very dirty seat, you can REALLY see the difference in the condition of the leather. The other "high traffic areas" of the seat (seatback side bolster, etc.) are shiny and have a "stickiness" to them from the oils and dirt that they've accumulated over the years.After just using the cleaner, all of that came out and I could run my hand across it without it sticking to it, chattering across it, etc., and the leather felt much smoother. The conditioner just amplifies that difference. The leather felt softer, more supple, even better than I remember it being when she first got the car.Personally, I'm not a big fan of leather seats... I don't like dealing with them when it's cold (even heated seats) and I definitely don't like them when it's hot out. I didn't care for these because they seemed stiff right from the dealer and just didn't seem particularly comfortable. This cleaner and conditioner has made a huge difference... Can't wait to see what the full seats feel like when I finally get a chance to really dig into them!Tips for application:Fold microfiber towel into 1/4s, spray cleaner onto clean side of microfiber towel, not onto the leather directly, and wipe in gently. Flip towel over, buff off. Work in sections, if you can - if the leather is old or has accumulated much dirt, you should start seeing the difference pretty quickly.After you get a couple of sections done (seat and seatback, for instance), take a different microfiber towel, fold into 1/4s or 1/8s, add a couple small drops of leather conditioner, spread evenly over the area you're treating, and then gently rub it into the leather, flip the towel over and buff off any excess.It doesn't take much to get the job done - CG always says that with their products "less is more" - and you really don't need to overdo it on the conditioner.I did this on a warm day, and I think that helped to make the leather a little more pliable and easy to clean and work with. Considering how dirty these seats are, I'll be attempting to use a hog hair brush (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013HJDOI/) that I bought on Amazon to see if that helps pull any dirt out of the leather. For this, I'll probably try diluting the solution a bit, spraying it directly on the leather in small sections, working with the brush, and then immediately wiping off before it gets a chance to dry back onto the seat.TL;DR - Great product, used cleaner undiluted (dilution suggested by manufacturer's YouTube videos), did a great job without removing any color from the leather, used conditioner sparingly and results were great. I highly recommend it!

It is hard to really show this product in photos but I couldn't believe the difference in my sofa after using this product. My sofa is going on 5 years old and ufortunately you will notice some scratches in the photo from both our dog and cat. I recently used some leather repair to hide some really bad spots (separate review) but I noticed the sofa just looked dull and no shine.After some Amazon research I came across this product and it had good reviews. I used both as directed first cleaning the sofa with the cleander than applying the conditioner with a microfiber sponge. I was amazed at how refreshed in new my sofa looked. The shine was back, in fact, when my husband went to sit on it that evening he commented that the sofa was slippery. Not a bad slippery but that more that new leather feeling. I still look at the sofa and am surprised it is the same sofa.I will definitely be using this product on a continous basis as needed. The only thing I'm bummed about is that I would really love to use the recolor balm whos purpose is to fill in all those tiny "cat" scratches I have but you have to have a good color match and our sofa isn't in the main color groups as it is a grey/brown/olive like color.Pros:**Easy to use**Is not time consuming**Really adds shine to your leather**Refreshes to look new**Enough product to use on several pieces of furniture several timesCons:**No cons for this product I just wish I could get a recolor balm in the right colorNo before and after photos as I didn't think to take a before photo, but as mentioned it is hard to really show the amazing results of this product. I have taken a photo of part of my sofa after using the product.Will purchase again as needed to keep my sofa new looking.

I was able to clean my dad’s leather jacket from his racing days in the 70s. It had been stored in a garage for decades. It was so dirty, and now it looks new again! I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this cleaner and conditioner. It’s shiny again and super clean. It’s going to look beautiful in the frame we are building for it. Definitely recommend this product!!

Love this product would use it more readily, but the price keeps going up like everything else in this world.

I used this product on my leather couch after 5 years of neglect. It was an easy process to using the product, and the results were outstanding. I highly recommend this product. My couch now looks new again. There was a heavy scent of leather in the air, which I loved. The scent did go away about 6 to 12 hours later.

I was quoted $275 to have this purse professionally cleaned and treated. HA. I’m so glad I found these products instead because they brought my leather Coach bag back to life. Has a new purse smell again too.

Cleaned my saddle very nicely, was easy to use and effective i will be buying again
