Just like with a leather cleaner, with a leather conditioner it is useful to know what type of leather interior your car has. This determines how important a leather conditioner is in your case. Anyway, a leather conditioner can never hurt. But with a certain type of leather, it is much more important that you regularly maintain it with a leather conditioner than with another type of leather.
Do you have a Peugeot, Renault, Opel, a cheaper model BMW, Audi, Mercedes or Volkswagen? Then there is a good chance that you have pigmented leather. This is the most common type of leather and is also the most durable type of leather. It is in fact just leather over which a colored varnish coating is sprayed. This makes it feel the least like real leather and does not have that typical leather feel and smell. You can use a leather conditioner for this, but the chance is small that the leather conditioner can penetrate through the colored varnish coating and absorb into the leather.
Do you have a more expensive BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus and so on? Then it is possible that you have semi-pigmented aniline leather. This is a thin layer of premium aniline leather but has been given a protective pigmented coating that they also use in the cheaper models. However, this coating is much thinner than with the cheaper models. This gives you more that real leather look, feel and smell, but you still have a durable leather interior. If the car is just new, this coating is still in very good condition and a leather conditioner will have little effect since the protective coating is still too thick to penetrate into the leather. Over the years, this coating will endure and become thinner, allowing a leather conditioner to penetrate more easily and better through the coating and nourish the underlying aniline leather. At this point, regular maintenance with a leather conditioner is definitely recommended. Also the use of a mild leather cleaner will ensure that the leather does not become more worn than with a regular standard interior everything cleaner.
Finally, we have the full premium aniline leather that is used in the most luxurious cars such as the limousines from BMW, Mercedes, Audi and also in sports cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley, and so on... Often they call this also learn Nappa leather. It generally consists entirely of genuine leather that has not been sprayed or the like. This gives you the real leather feel and look and also the real leather smell. Because this is sensitive leather, we recommend using a real leather cleaner to clean the leather and not to use an interior all-purpose cleaner. It is also crucial to maintain the leather regularly with a leather conditioner. This will allow you to keep the leather in new condition for as long as possible without it drying out, starting to crack, discolor, and so on. Depending on how much the car is driven, in what conditions it is driven, how it is parked, and so on. These properties all affect how often you need to treat the leather. Sometimes this can be every month, sometimes every six months. A regular quick maintenance with a leather cleaner and a leather conditioner, even if it is only for the driver's seat, will do the leather a lot of good and keep the quality optimal.
Before you start using a leather conditioner, it is important to first clean the leather. Except at the leatherique Products. In this case, the conditioner used and then the cleanser. If your leather is still in good condition, it may also be recommended to learn to protect with a coating. In this way you apply a protective top layer over the leather so that there is less color transfer from clothing to the leather, it will become less dirty and it is also easier to clean and is also protected against the UV rays of the sun. In this case it is recommended to simply clean the leather and then protect it with a leather protector. After it has fully cured you can still use a leather conditioner but the effect of the leather conditioner will be limited as the coating repels the leather conditioner.
