Dr Leather - good stuff
Discussion
Just finished a few hours on the car this afternoon. Finally got around to spending some time on the interior and the upholstery.
A few months back I checked out Detailers World and found Dr Leather. I bought the spray on cleaner and a tub of wipes.
I emailed first with my requirements and he emailed back with an honest indication of how suitable the product was for my car and my expectations. Offered me a PH discount of sorts and it arrived promptly (though not well packed, the contents was covered in some of the cleaner as the trigger had squeezed a bit whilst in transit).
They've sat idle for a few months but I unleashed them today on my 2008 325i SE with black Dakota leather. I didn't have a specific area of cleanup so just used the wipes for a general clean of the seats and door cards. They were brilliant. Cleaned very well, did not leave a greasy or oily residue and retained the factory matt finish, even restoring it on bits where the leather had gone shiny, such as the seat bolster and steering wheel. I now get the that satisfying creaking noise again from my hands on the wheel when steering.
One wipe lasts about one section of the seat, say top or bottom or door card. So to do a coupe you're looking at 10 wipes. But a tub has loads in. I reckon it will last me a good year providing the tub doesn't dry out.
So credit where it is due for a local product, it's good stuff and does exactly what it says on the tin. And the chap seems to know his onions.
I don't know him from Adam, I'm just a happy customer who has been helped through the maze of hocus pocus leather products available at Halfords and come up smelling the roses.
ETA: I then attacked my old Timberlands with them before the pub this arvo and they brought those up a treat as well. Result
