Should I be considering Leather Masters over Leatherique?? I planned on ordering Leatherique with my spring order, but if LM is a better choice, I'll go in that direction. Anyone?
Leatherique is designed to deep clean leather, particularly to penetrate the actual hide itself and neutrilize and remove impurites. For older, stiff leather, I have found nothing that works better.
Leather Masters leather car is designed to prevent your leather from ever getting that stiff in the first place.
First, all of the cleaners (even the strong Rapid Cleaner S) is extremely safe and gentle for the chemistry of the leather. Removing body oils and soiling frequently goes a long way towards preventing the leather from hardening over time.
The second step is the protection of the leather. Leather Masters Leather Protection Cream coats the leather in a breathable coating of protection that prevents against drying out, and provides some slip against abrasion and damage.
An optional step, between 1 and 2 (step 1.5) is Leather Vital. Vital is a conditioner of sorts, that does great on leather that has begun to harden or leather that squeaks.
