Leather care product

Post by Dan Alex » Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:31 pm

Hi,

I have recently discovered Furniture clinic and i'm very :yell: about that. I've ordered and i'm waiting to see if it is as good as advertised. Anyone used it on their cars? Pls let me know some impressions on that....


P.S.

I'll post a photo before and after of the driver's seat to see how it came out

Their cleaner is the best I've used and I think, over the years, I've used most of what's on the market. The cream is also nice.

I have had contact only with the presentation clips on youtube and their site...and they really convinced me, so i'm waiting impatiently for the product to arrive.... :camera:

As you can see Furniture Clinic worked fantastically, and i'm very happy with it. This is just the cleaner without the balm or other stuff that they offer

Nice job schaff.

The fact that you don't have to scrub too hard is the big benefit. Some of these cleaners require so much scrubbing you'll take the colour out of the leather.

I used a nylon brush, unfortunately i think it was a little too harsh on the leather, and since i did this the first time i may have overdone it just a notch....ANYWAY, if you use a mild brush, you get the perfect results. The product just eases dirt of, of the grain, and their site says that together with the ultra clean product must be used a recolouring balm. In conclusion, i recommend it! 
Indeed it was very good  as you also said it would be!

well...it can be used on any kind of non absorbent leather (so steering should be a safe bet if NOT suede/alcantara etc), cost was pretty ok, around 7.5 pounds, 250 ml bottle, transportation to middle of nowhere (romania) another 5 pounds. :)

I've got beige leather in the X6 so this may be just what I need too.  Autoglym was fine on the black, but I don't know what it's like for staining on cream so have been a bit wary so far......just in case.  I'm sure the AG stuff will be fine too though.
