Leatherique Leather Rejuvenator/Prestine Clean Pair 8 Oz

This was nice! I got a used vehicle with leather seats so they needed a little rehab. It’s relatively expensive but is about the best I’ve used. It doesn’t have much smell. It was pretty easy to use. It takes time but not difficult. It didn’t leak and is great quality. My seats look great and are more comfortable than ever.

This leather rejuvenator worked really well for me. It took some time, to take effect, but it really restored my water damaged car seats.My project: 2009 BMW with optional 'Dakota' leather that was in pristine condition before.... The windows and sunroof were left wide open in an all-night rain. Not just a little wet, SOAKING inch-of-water on the floorborads kind of catastrophe. The leather was totally waterlogged, swollen and mushy, then shrank when it dried so the seat bottoms were hard and cardboard-like.For a couple-weeks I tried daily applications of mainstream leather treatment, with no effect. Then got over the shockingly high price and bought Leatherique rejuvenator/pristine.The stuff is nasty and sticky. Hard to wash off your hands. I applied it only to the seat bottoms initially and left the car in the garage for a few days (June in Houston, so quite warm). After cleaning with the leatherique cleaner, I noticed that the surface texture was a little better, but the leather was still mostly shrunken.I read somewhere that leather like this is sealed on the surface, so I didn't expect instant results, but it looked like the oils were getting into the leather (there has to be some surface permeability or the water wouldn't have soaked it, right?).I did two more multi-day applications over the next couple weeks and saw incremental improvements each time, but it took several more weeks for the shrinking to gradually relax. I assume this was because of the oils slowly diffusing through the leather.During this time, I also treated the shift boot and parking brake boot. The parking brake boot looked fine, but was always stiff and felt paper-like (in the 2 years I have had the car anyway). Since the shift boot and parking brake aren't really ever touched, I just left the oil on them for the last few weeks, and both have shown a remarkable improvement. I don't think they are the same quality leather as the seats, but both are feeling much more supple now, without a feeling of papery-crispness.

I treated two types of automotive leather.The first was the semi-analine leather in an eight year old BMW M3. This leather has a fairly light urethane coating and therefore the leather rejuvinator was easily absorbed after two days of sitting in 90 degree weather. I applied the pristine clean and it cleaned up really well. The seats are significantly softer to the touch, matte finished and the leather feels really healthy. A+ for texture. I will caution you that on my light blue-silver leather, the leather now seems a shade darker.Second, and more as an experiment, I treated the totally neglected, bonded leather in my 15 year old Nissan Maxima. This leather has a very thick urethane coating, therefore I had to leave the treatment on for 3-4 days before removing it. To be frank, the results were mixed. This was partly due to the leather being of inconsistent condition and grain throughout the various panels. For really dry panels, the difference was negligible and would require multiple treatments. For the softer areas, the results were pretty good. Across the board, the shine was removed from the leather and a factory matte finish resulted.My observation is that if you have mid to high-end leather to treat, this will return the best results I have ever seen. For the more typical heavily coated automotive leather, this may not be worth the time or money.

I used this on seats in my 2014 Mustang (GT500, non-recaro) - the product sat overnight and through 2 hot Florida afternoons. It changed my leather from stiff, discolored, and creased to a supple, clean, and relatively smooth appearance and feel. It cleaned the white part of my seats to a nice and new bright white, and took the brown crud in the leather grain out of both the white and black parts of the seat. It didn't damage or discolor the alcantara inserts. It also worked really well on my automatic shifter and my steering wheel - everything is now a clean, supple, matte finish. Take care to clean off the product and let it sit for a sufficient time before sititing in the seats, it felt a little tacky for a few hours after the last step. Very happy with this product!!

I have used Leatherique for years. Brought back cardboard leather to smelling and feeling great. Yes, it’s not as easy as wipes, but wipes won’t give you this level of results.

First of all, please be sure to read the instructions online if they were not included with the products!! I did not have any instructions included with my order so I went online. The Rejuvenator is applied first, and then the Prestine Clean. Yes, it's not in the order that many (including me) would assume. Granted, my car seats were in pretty good condition to start with, but using these products really helped condition the leather and make it softer. Also, I did not have any stickiness or tackiness after using the Cleaner, although I noticed that several people did experience that. There was some stickiness after I use the Rejuvenator but the directions say that is normal. Also, I did not notice any strong odor from either product, which is a good thing. In total, I can recommend this product as long as the directions are followed to the letter.

UPDATE: Decided to buy more and wanted to check the actual product from the manufacturer. Lables are not the same and looks completely different! I will update once the actual "original" bottles come.Product works but doesn't come with sprayer for conditioner. Only reason I chose this one over the ones without the sprayer that were cheaper was because of the sprayer.
