White Leather Care

[orionredwing]

My fiancee is thinking of purchasing the new Triple White beetle w/ the white leather, but if people have greater difficulty maintaining tan leather, I can't even begin to imagine white!

I've been using Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Conditioner for years and they've been great on my black leather, but now I'm looking for some added durability.

Is there a 'sealant' for leather like there is for paint? I know leather has to breathe, but is there a product that can make leather more tolerant of stains / smudges? Otherwise that bright white will start to fade pretty fast.

Or am I stuck with a monthly wipe down w/ the leather conditioner? I used to condition my leather only once a year in comparison, which was good enough to preserve the look and suppleness. I enjoy exterior detailing more than interior, so the thought of conditioning leather 1/month is not too appealing to me. Thanks for your advice!

Re: White Leather Care

Our Gold Class Leather products were all improved to provide more UV protection but as far as "sealing" the leather to protect it from stains that will penetrate into the leather the best protection will be to remove anything that could stain the leather as fast as it is discovered, thus a reason to keep a cannister of wipes inside the car in arms reach.

Also, wiping the seats often will prevent dirt and grim from accumulating. This is easy to do when the car is new, but as time goes by most people tend to maintain less often than they should, especially for white leather.

If you get the white leather... throw in a bonus of a couple extra wipes cannisters and stress to her the importance of using them often.

Re: White Leather Care

Just make sure you maintain the seats in the regular basis because if they are white if you don't care they will get very dirty

Re: White Leather Care

If they do get very dirty, you always have the option of having them steam cleaned. Only thing with that is if you don't have a professional steam cleaner, spending money to have someone do it is no fun.
