Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Leather seats are so durable and look great even as they age, that it's easy to overlook their proper care. If leather isn't cleaned but even more importantly kept supple, it will dull, dry and eventually crack. The traditional solution to leather care, whether a jacket, a sofa or the seats in a car has been the two step routine of cleaning with saddle soap and conditioning with mink oil. It's a labor intensive process but the results are immediate and substantial. A quality alternative product that's easier to use would be welcome. Many are offered on the market, but how does Meguars new offering measure up and compare? Their product comes with two bottles of material, a cleaner for the first step and a sealer for the second step. There is also a spray top pump included for the cleaner, a foam pad to be used to apply the sealer and one small microfiber towel. Application is straight forward. Unscrew the cleaner cap, remove the container seal, attach the spray cap. Spray the cleaning liquid directly on the leather. Spread and massage in with the included cloth to remove dirt and liquid. Allow it to dry and then apply the sealer with the foam pad. Before it can dry remove it with a clean cloth and buff. My seats were long overdue to be cleaned and the areas you might expect to be most dirty did show dirt was removed as evidenced on the microfiber cloth. The sealer was applied as directed. The results were good, with the leather appearing more glossy and having that clean squeak when I sat on the seat.
For the sake of comparison, I repeated the process on my passenger seat but used saddle soap and then mink oil. It's a trickier application since it requires wetting the saddle soap and working into a light foam. The foam is applied to the leather with a damp cloth and worked in. It must be removed with a different damp clean microfiber cloth so no drying soap remains. The advantage is that in ringing the rag you can see how much dirt was removed. My impression is that the saddle soap removed more dirt and left the seat cleaner without whatever chemicals are in a cleaning spray and possible fumes that might emanate while driving, small as they might be. Saddle soap is a mild,soap but it includes lanolin and glycerin which soften the leather unlike unknown chemicals in a bottle. Mink oil is exactly that; oil that's from minks and is very similar to human sebum, the oil that lubricates our skin. Leather is, of course, animal hide or skin, unpleasant as that is to dwell on, so it seems much more logical to keep any leather conditioned with oils that would be there naturally. What was the comparative results? As a car enthusiast of many years, the latter process to me is far superior. Why? Saddle soap is gentle and used properly, softens the leather. Mink oil "feeds" leather by putting back oils that belong there. The leather in car seats is usually coated with sealers from the factory to make it more waterproof and durable in weather so oils may not penetrate easily. But it seems logical that especially perforated leather does allow acceptance of the oil. Due to its thick consistency, when it is applied it coats even the seams and the stitching, imparting greater protection and more complete conditioning and waterproofing qualities. Running my fingers over both seats allowed a tactile verification that the mink oil side felt much more lush, "plump" and leatherlike. The Meguar's side looked glossy, but the leather felt unaffected, like the sealer just sat on top of it, as I imagine it did. If you want a product that's easy to use and leaves a great look to your leather, I can recommend this Meguar's product with three and a half stars being a more exact score. If you want far superior results, in my humble personal experience at least, there is no substitute to the more effective, natural and even logical solution of using the time tested and proven method of a good saddle soap and mink oil which easily deserve 5 plus stars. Amazon sells 12 oz of Fiebling Saddle soap for $8.99. Meltonian Mink Oil Paste is presently $6.74 on Amazon which includes shipping but for this one time it would be wiser to buy it at a local store for under $3.00. That amount will last many uses and can be used to wisely condition your leather jackets and even outdoor boots. One other premium alternative product is Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, which is one of the best leather products available. So, yes, recommended. But there is a much better, logical, and cost effective alternative.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The leather seats in my 3 1/2 year old Buick were looking rather dirty, and I thought I would try this product. At first I almost gave up, because I couldn't get the sprayer to work on the step 1 prep. I finally just poured some on the included cloth. Boy, does it ever do a good job. Tried it first on the center console where both my wife and I always place our grubby arms. It now looks like new. Same way with the seats where we sit.
I next applied the sealer. I do not know how well that works, only time will tell, but If you have leather seats, I would recommend you try this product, because it works!

Amazing stuff!!! I sealed the new leather couch the night before my kids birthday party. It takes ~18-24 hours to bond to the leather. My little 2 year old girl took my cheesecake put it in morning coffee and threw the cup on the couch! It wiped off easily and cleanly! Incredible stuff, I immediately went and treated my car's leather.
Follow the instructions, if you want a satin sheen don't buff it off, if not then buff it off.
Honest reviews on Meguiar's G3800 Gold Class Leather Sealer Treatment
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program So, I'm generally pretty cautious about putting stuff on leather seats or furniture. If the product is bad and damages the leather you can't undo it. And likewise, if it leaves the seat greasy you don't want to sit on the seat until the dries out or gets absorbed.
But I bravely applied both the cleaner and the conditioner to the front seats in my BMW. Neither caused any obvious harm, but neither did it seem to do anything helpful either. The seats look exactly like they did before. No mess, you could easily sit on the seats after you were done. But did it help? I can't tell.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have medium grade leather in my car, and it gets a lot of sun and heat during the day. The leather is about 8 months old and is still in near mint condition. Application of the conditioner took a hour for a 4 door sedan. Time will tell if it helps extend the life, but it does feelt better to the touch.
