Thought i`d do a small review of some BLC I received as a sample with an order some time ago, just never got around to trying it until now. So lets get started with the review!

Blackfire Leather Conditioner

The claim: BLACKFIRE Leather Conditioner keeps leather soft with state-of-the-art breathable polymers. Extreme UV protection resists leather yellowing and photo oxidation. The non-slick, satin finish created by Leather Conditioner resists abrasion, arming your car’s leather seats against daily wear and tear. In addition, BLACKFIRE Leather Conditioner leaves a moisture barrier to prevent moisture from breaking down leather or stitching.

Directions: For best results using, thoroughly clean surface first using BlACKFIRE Interior Cleaner. Apply a dime-size amount of BLACKFIRE Leather Conditioner onto a foam or microfiber applicator and thoroughly massage into the leather. Allow lotion to penetrate for several seconds. Then lightly buff with a microfiber towel to remove any excess.

I cleaned with Blackfire interior cleaner, and used a microfiber cloth with a dime size amount as directed.

After some time absorb, i buffed off with a supreme 530.

Conclusion: This stuff works very well, soaks into the leather and is not in any way slimy and greasy. Leather feels much softer and supple after, and smells decent (can`t describe, kind of like a manly air freshener)

The price is a little to steep for my taste sadly, but would jump at the chance to get it If it went on sale. After everything, yes I would recommend it. It preformed above my expectations. I ended up using the rest of the sample bottle up in this customers vehicle. Hope you enjoyed my review!

Thanks for the review Colin!

In the past BFLC was polycharged, and that was the thing that I recommend to my frds who has uncoated leather.. because it forms a layer of polymer on leather for water beading and protection..

Is the new BFLC polycharged? If yes I can continue to recommend it, if no I will recommend Sonus or Four Star instead.

Thanks for you`re review. I am assuming you didn`t apply it to the perforated leather, correct?

"maximum amount of conditioning oils, protective polymers and UV-absorbers in the formula"

Unsure if its poly-charged, but I assume the formula never changed. I`m sure Todd will chime in on this one :bigups

Great review. The formula was updated to improve the durability. I`m not sure if it contains polycharger additive or not but I do know the newest version is more durable then the previous.
