  • Meguiars Rich Leather Spray vs Wipes Comparison

    Hello all, This is a comparison test and review of Meguiars Rich Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner Spray and Rich Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner Wipes. So lets get started then:

    The Test Subject: I tested both the products on my leather wokout bench that we have had for ten years or so. This is the first time the leather on it has been conditioned, it was pre cleaned with Meguiars APC and a microfiber before the testing was done.

    Products 1 :

    Meguiars Rich Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner Spray




    50/50: Initial Appearance



    after a wipe with a microfiber:





    as you can see the wipe with a microfiber decreased the gloss and it also left a non greasy feel and left the leather very plush feeling. The product spread out nicely and buffed off nicely to a mirror non greasy sheen!


    Product 2: Meguiars Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner Wipes




    50/50: Initial Appearance:



    This product was very easy and convienent to use and it gave a uniform appearance withonly 2 passes! I expected at least 3 or 4 to get uniform coverage being that i was working with a wipe but that was not the case. Besides using this on my leather steering wheel on my truck i have never used it before. Sorry but i forgot to take a picture of wiping it with a MF after, but i think you get the picture, it was less glossy and left a nice plush feeling and a low gloss sheen.


    Summary: Well, both product performed very nicely and i posted pics for you to be the judge. I was very suprised with the wipes and how they performed. I will be using both these products more often and perhaps i will finish Conditioning the work bench later and possibly updating the thread with the Megs Rich Leather Cleaner / Conditioner cream version. I hope this thread helps if someone is not sure which version or form to buy. Thanks for looking and as always: questions, comments and concerns are always welcome

      I use the GC wipes all the time on my leather seats and they work as advertised

      Also great on my leather couches

        I have these wipes, and I think my new car's leather seats will need a wipe down soon.

        I'm just very nervous about getting some of the product on plastic behind the seat and also on a plastic part of the head rest where heat comes out, airscarf.

        I know from experience it can be tricky to keep it only where you want it, without getting a smudge somewhere else, and then the stuff takes ages to go away even if you scrub it.

        Anyway, anyone know how often you should use a leather product? Would month old seats need it yet?

          Once a month for any seats being used is plenty good enough. Be sure to focus on any place where your skin comes into contact.

            How long do the wipes stay moist in the tube? Will they dry out in less than a year, two?

            For those of you who used them last year are you still using the same tube?

                That's my issue with wipes, but that's mainly my fault- I gravitate to the sprays, and the wipes sit around and end up drying. I've since stopped buying them, and stick to sprays. I know they're for convenience, but I guess is it really that hard to spray and then wipe? Just my .02

                  How about motorcycle seats? Most are vinyl, but some are leather. Will either of these products make the seat slippery? I know some people who made the mistake of using other companies products and you could barely stay on the bike.

                    Well, you would not want to use a vinyl product on leather, so best to know what you are working on.

                    Leather does not seem to become slick from the leather products, though best not to use too much, and wipe off excess.

                    For vinyl, you would probably want the product from the Motocyle line, which is non-slick.

                      I never knew such a product existed in the motorcycle line. Thanks Murr, I'll look it up.

                        I actually dont see it on there anymore.... hmm...

                        EDIT:

                        Though the Leather care product says it is good for vinyl also. Maybe i mixed the two up.
