Title: Leather Cleaner
Post by: Mike on February 04, 2009, 01:15:07 PM
I searched long and hard for a leather cleaner/treatment that met the standars that I was looking for. I came accross Surf City Garage Vodoo, and must say this stuff is amazing. If your looking for something to clean and treat your leather this stuff will measure up. The smell is a little strong but, it provides a very nice shine, and cleans well.

I need to buy this stuff and try it out! I have been using lexol and it just doesn't get my ivory seats clean. I come home dirty from work regardless of what job I have been at, and my seats take a beating. Where did you buy it?

surfcitygarage.com It's not the best cleaning product but, it does a better job than anything else of used at treating the seats. The clean properties are solid but not great

I use pinnacle leather cleaner. It even took 2 day old oil paint out of my seats without damage the leather at all. Amazing Stuff. Smells great too. Not all chemically like some. It worked great on my 5 year old leather coat that had never been conditioned or cleaned as well. I use pinacle leather conditioner to condition my leather after cleaning it.

Surf City is a solid product... I use it on customers cars when they don't want to cough up real dough for a thorough treatment.
If you are doing it for your car, it deserves the best.
I would suggest the leather master 3 step product... you will not be sorry.

Would you need to dilute this to clean black leather.

So what's a good conditioner/cleaner that doesnt provide a high gloss or slick feel to it. I like that clean natural look to the leather for some reason I dont like it when it's crazy shiny and definitely dont like the ones that make the seats slick/greasy.

You dilute it depending on how dirty the hides are.... If you gotta lotta funk on your hides, make it strong.. If not so much funk, dilute it down...

me and shine on leather and even shine on tires don;t get along... not into the afro sheen look
Leather masters is not shiny - neither is surf city... just depends what level you want to take it to and how much coin you wanna drop

I should have been more clear in my OP on my vision of "a nice shine" I dont like killer shiny either.

Want to know what Cadillac recommends? Woolite cut 8 to 1 with water. Really nasty? Go 6 to 1. Barely soiled? Go 10 to 1. I have used this for years. If you use the 6 to 1 it will be sudsy..........wipe it down with a clean wet towel after cleaning....8 to 1 is optional, 10 to 1, not needed.
This is in additon to what Deep Gloss says, not better than. Just an alternative cleaner that might just be sitting around the house and works very well.

Comparing Armor All Wipes to the better products mentioned here is like trying to compare a Kleenex tissue to a circus tent........in short there is no comparison. Try some of the better products and see for yourself, you'll be glad you did.

I used Mother's leather cleaner and Mother's leather conditioner today. I was really impressed with the turn out. I like how there is only a subtle smell and they don't leave the seats feeling real greasy.
