Leather interior cleaning

A leather interior coating is a protective product applied to leather surfaces inside a vehicle (seats, steering wheel, panels, armrests) to keep them looking new and prevent wear. Unlike a simple leather conditioner or cleaner, a coating creates a durable, invisible layer that resists dirt, UV rays, stains, and minor abrasion.

Here’s a breakdown:

🔹 Benefits

• UV protection – prevents fading and cracking from sun exposure.

• Stain resistance – repels liquids, oils, and dyes from clothing.

• Longer lifespan – keeps leather soft, prevents premature aging.

• Easier cleaning – coated surfaces wipe clean without soaking in dirt.

• Matte finish – maintains the natural look without making leather slippery or shiny.

🔹 Types

1. Ceramic Leather Coating – strongest and most durable, lasts 1–2 years.

2. Polymer/Sealant Leather Coating – easier to apply, lasts 3–6 months.

3. Hybrid Spray Protectants – quick application, lower durability, good for maintenance.

🔹 Application Process

1. Clean thoroughly – use a dedicated leather cleaner to remove oils, dirt, and old conditioners.

2. Prep the surface – some coatings require a surface prep spray to ensure bonding.

3. Apply coating – with a microfiber applicator or sponge, spread evenly in small sections.

4. Buff off excess – after a few minutes, use a clean microfiber towel.

5. Cure time – avoid sitting or putting pressure on seats for 12–24 hours.

🔹 Maintenance

• Wipe with a damp microfiber towel weekly.

• Use a gentle leather cleaner monthly.

• Reapply coating according to product instructions (usually 6–12 months for ceramic).
