Five Golden Car Skin Care Principles

In the leather interior, not everything is made of leather.
Leather fit the seats, steering wheel and door cards. In expensive and recognized premium cars, there are also torpedoes.

There are three types of automotive leather: expensive and noble (nappa, monza), textured leather, eco-leather.

Nappa is an expensive, soft, genuine leather. Follicles (places where hair grew), scars or scratches of the animal are visible on the nappa skin. It is painted with balms that enter the pores and impregnate the skin from the inside.

There is such an expression: “Understanding the principles, eliminates the need to know the facts” (write down just in case). Here we briefly present five basic principles of operation and care of a leather interior, which are guaranteed to extend its life.

Regularity

Regularity is the main rule in skin care. Maintaining the interior by using the best leather conditioner for cars in good condition is easier than doing dry cleaning, restoring or altering the interior.
Frequent preventive cleaning should be done once a week.


Deep cleansing and skin protection is advisable once every three months. Dust settles constantly, so cleaning once a year will not help. If you don’t want to suddenly find a “dying” salon, regularly spend an hour an hour a week on the car. 

No 2 in 1

Smart manufacturers like to offer two-in-one miracles. To immediately clean and protect, and eat the fish.
If the car cleaning products and conditioner are combined in one bottle, then such a composition will not deeply clean and will not protect properly. It can only maintain the appearance and provide a "general preventive effect." Such “magic cocktails” are not able to clean the dirt from the pores of the skin, but they elegantly seal it with silicone film. Over time, without the “quarterly” deep cleansing, this leads to the destruction of the paint.

Do not get skin on skin

Worst of all, other skin acts on the skin. If you have an expensive leather jacket, belt and label on jeans - these are the enemies of the seat.


Want to keep the interior in perfect condition? Drive with microfiber gloves and pants.
We know that this is nonsense and utopia, but there are no other options besides “hiding” with capes, covers and bedding. Or just don’t squirm on the seat ...

Do not protect dirty skin.

Be sure to clean the interior before covering it with protection. The temptation is great - it seems so clean, I’ll pass the Conder and I will not bathe. "Harmless" dirt is more insidious than you think. Bacteria that sit in the pores of the skin and wait for nourishment are not visible to the naked eye. You cover them with a liquid composition, and they joyfully begin to live a full life.
In this case, the seat cracks, stinks, shines with an incomprehensible brilliance, becomes cramped and loses shape. Do you need it?

Cleaner do not change

If you began to clean the interior with one cleaner, but it ended, then do not continue with another, wait until the interior is completely dry.

Each manufacturer tries to stand out and adds something of his own to the cleaner. If incompatible ingredients are found in your seat, there they will leave a burn. Therefore, do not experiment with cleaners until the interior is completely dry. Do not risk it.
