Is it safe on modern coated leather?
Some leathers - even modern finishes - can be damaged easily with strong cleaners like Pimp My Hide. Whilst the sealant will be fine to use, always be careful with the cleaning process and never use a brush if unsure. Start with a damp cloth and a light spray onto the cloth; then if all is well, use more product and a brush. If you see colour transfer from leather dye, stop. You can always recolour it if needed but hopefully no major damage will be done.
My leather is shiny, can I clean it?
Steering wheels, dashboards and seats may appear shiny and whilst this can be due to grime and contamination, it may also be the natural clearcoat (varnish) applied by the factory. Removing this will damage the leather, often appearing as dirty, sticky rolls of brown rubbery material. The more you 'clean' the more you destroy and will need to re-clearcoat the leather. So be careful what you clean. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and go carefully.
Can I use this kit on vinyl as well as leather?
Yes, both the cleaner and the sealant are suitable for vinyl. Vinyl is also a lot more robust so you can usually get stuck in with the brush.
Do I need a conditioner afterward?
For best results, follow cleaning with our sealant. You don't need a conditioner, leather food or glaze. These often attract dirt that can then be ground into the leather. Our sealant repels dirt.
