Leatherique Leather Conditioning in the Winter?

Having done it in a heated garage in the winter (50 degrees), I can tell you its not nearly as effective.

However, you can still detail your interior and clean the leather thoroughly with Pristine Clean.


Just my .02

 

Maybe we can get George to post, he owns the company and is a fchat member. Best product on the market!

 

Interested to know as well. I bought the rejuvenator and prisine clean set yesterday. Maybe it would help to pull the seats and apply in your furnace/boiler room? I live in NJ and have an unheated garage as well so that was the warmest place I could think of.

 

Get the pristine clean, a nice horse hair brush, and a microfiber towel. You will be amazed at how well it cleans your leather and vinyl, if you put in a little elbow grease. I use it every month and I am in love with the stuff. More importantly for you, the pristine clean removes the rejuvenator oil. When the oil dries it is really sticky. The pristine clean removes it with ease.

FWIW, its not enough to just condition your leather. You have to clean it to get all the crap out of the pores. Some of that dirt, if left unattended can cause premature wear.

 

I think it is just four allen bolts per seat.

Maybe take a look at some of the BRADAN threads in the TriState forum. They have some great pics of how they detail a car. The first thing they do is out the seats so they can get to all the other nooks and crannies with the Leatherique and shampoo the carpets.

 

I'm a HUGE fan of leatherique too...
I think you have good idea to remove the seats, bring them indoors to get "warmer" and clean and condtion..
I use the boars hair brush for some light agitation, dont press, just let the bristles do the work - gently.. I also get a pair of rubber gloves, the hospital kind and massage the oil into the seat, it also helps to loosen the grime and softens the leather as you work it.

Removing the seats, 4 allen bolts on my 89 328. My seat rail had a carpet "stay" on the front rail that had to be removed first in order to slide the seat far enough forward to reach the rear bolts.

Good Luck. Your gonna be amazed what the rejuv oil and pristine clean will do. Take pics.

 

You are 100% correct. Very easy to remove the seat. If the bolts are a bit rusted then use PB Blaster on them and let soak for an hour or more.

 

Lost my computer so had to get a new ID.
To answer the question in a SHORT way.
1. Put on the Rejuvinator Oil FIRST and forget about the car till you need it.
2. NEVER put on Prestine Clean FIRST this is a cleaner and will drive the dirt INTO the leather.
3. AFTER you use the Rejuvinator Oil THEN put the Prestine Clean in a spray bottle and spray it ON TOP if the Rejuvinator Oil and use a SOFT CLOTH to wipe it down.

NEVER, NEVER
Use a HARSH towel to rub the leather.

Take Care
