Leatherique Prestine Clean as a Stand Alone = A+

Dr. G · 09-23-2011, 01:21 AM

I remember always wondering how Leatherique's prestine clean would work as a stand alone product without the rejuv oil, but couldn't find too many posts on it. So I decided to throw up a quick post about it. I never took any before pictures because I wasn't even thinking about making a post or anything so after pictures will be pretty useless since they won't show the difference.

THE REVIEW:
I have a JADE GREY interior which almost looks white and after working on my car so much and transporting so many parts in the car I decided it was time to give it a clean up. Most of the seats looked good, but I could see some dirt on the drivers seat and it was looking a bit shiny and definitely not the same colour as the rest of the interior... it had taken on a darker shade, didn't look like it would go back to the original colour.

I decided to use a leather brush from detailedimage and some Prestine Clean as a stand alone since I couldn't go through the hassle of the Rejuv Oil. Let me tell you that I am SURPRISED by the amount of dirt that was coming out of the seats... ALL of my seats look a totalllly different colour now and have a VERY NICE matte finish just like you would expect from brand new leather seats. The leather looks and feels brand new... and there is no greasy or oily spots AT ALL and all the seams and cracks cleaned up very nice with the brush. My interior looks as good as new...without the need for the rejuv oil.

METHOD:
I put the Prestine Clean into a spray bottle and sprayed it onto the leather, then I agitated with a brush and just wiped off with a damp towel... the towel was CLEARLY picking up a lot of gunk and the seats turned out VERY VERY NICE.... highlllllyyy recommend this product.

I actually drove the car RIGHT after cleaning the leather and got a pretty strong headache from the fumes haha... well I'm pretty sure it was from the fumes since I never get headaches.

But the car smells nice today.

Did you let it sit after you sprayed it on, or just went straight to agitating it?

Ahh, gotta let the stuff flash a bit....I applied the product and let it sit on the leather for a good hour before buffing off....No fumes.

Does this product give the "new leather" smell?

Did you spray, and then let it sit for an hour? Or did you spray, agitate, and then let it sit for an hour?
