Pinnacle BL Hyde Soft Leather Cleaner and Leather/Vinyl Coating Review

[Pats300zx]

This past weekend I had a chance to mess with a few more of the Pinnacle Black Label products that Nick at PBMG was gracious enough to allow me to try out.

The test vehicle was my 2003 Nissan Super Black 350Z. My interior was in excellent conditon but I thought it would be a good chance to try out the new Black Label interior products. I have never really thought of using a "coating" on my leather interior since I don`t put a lot of miles on the car and it`s garage kept. However, I thought it would be a good test to see how the products compare to the Courbeau leather seats in 300ZX which always see your standard leather conditioner.

Product: Pinnacle Black Label Hide-Soft Leather Cleaner



Pinnacle Black Label Hide-Soft Leather Cleaner is a pH-balanced leather shampoo designed to deep clean leather and vinyl surfaces. Formulated with mink oil and lanolin, Hide-Soft Leather Cleaner forgoes inexpensive petroleum ingredients and instead relies on advanced chemistry. Hide-Soft Leather Cleaner deep cleans leather surfaces without removing the natural oils.

Pinnacle Black Label Leather & Vinyl Coating is a nano-polymer interior coating that protects treated surfaces against the damaging effects of moisture, oils and salt from skin, accidental spills, and more. Coated surfaces will be well protected against UV rays and other common contaminants that plague an interior from every day use. Use on dashboards, leather seats, and any other leather or vinyl surface that would benefit from superior protection. Coated surfaces will exhibit a low-gloss sheen that doesn’t attract dirt or dust.

Thoughts

1. I applied the BL Hyde Leather Cleaner with micro fiber app and then buffed with a micro fiber towel. My seats were in great shape but I wanted to make sure they were very clean since I would be applying a BL Leather and Vinyl Coating.

2. The Black Leather and Vinyl coating applies super easy like the other BL coating. A few spritzes on a finger pocket app and I could easily cover the seats. A little goes a lonnnnng way. I then waited about 1-2 minutes and buffed with a micro fiber towel.

3. The seats looked great and had a slight sheen that diminished after a few minutes. The look and feel kind of reminded me of Ultima Interior Guard. More of a matte or natural look.

4. Application and removal is super easy. I am curious to see how the products hold up over time.

Pics

There is a slight sheen in the pictures but it was probably due to the fact that I took the pictures at night in my garage with florescent lighting.

Great review Pat, the seats look great. As you mentioned, I am curious on the durability of the coating too.
