Custom Car Leather

Leather will always provide timeless appeal. No other medium can match the superior texture as well as the level of comfort that the custom car leather provides. The softness, warmth as well as the aroma of the finest leathers will not only enhance and retain the value of your vehicle but will also guarantee a superior level of motoring comfort and enjoyment.

Leather consists of thousands and thousands of entangled fibers with penetrable pores throughout, just like the human skin. Proper maintenance starts with fiber cleaning. Cleaning the leather removes the fiber-severing abrasive and pore clogging dirt and dust. Both of which will totally break down the leather over time and give it less than pleasing texture and appearance.

With regular cleaning and conditioning, your custom car leather interior will last long. Additionally, the main concern is to determine what type of leather interior you have, and then select the appropriate cleaners and conditioners that are designed particularly for the task. Custom car leather interiors are made of 100% leather, while some modern interiors are leathers that are coated with a lithe vinyl.

To determine what type of leather you have can be done in a quick test, using a small amount of cool clean water. The custom car leather will absorb the water and the vinyl-coated leather will fend off it. Either way, a few drops of water will not harm your car’s interior.

Subsequently, you are now in the process of knowing the right conditioners and cleaners for your leather. Lumber soap and conditioners that are good for your baseball glove or boots are supposedly not to be used on the automotive leather of any kind. The soap contains alkalis that can damage the materials in your seats permanently. The household detergents and cleaners can as well damage the custom car leather interior as well. You should always utilize the products that are designed for the type of leather that your vehicle has.

Eradicating harmful oil and dirt deposits is the crucial first step. Always make use of clean soft clothes to prevent damage or inadvertent removal of the leather dye. Stubborn dirt wedged into gaps may require the use of an upholstery brush. The removal of filth and slime must be done before conditioning the leather since you do not like to push the contaminants into the pores permanently.

The most important step is conditioning. This moisturizes and nourishes the individual fibers and keeping it away from becoming dry and brittle. It also replaces necessary natural oils that evaporate. A good conditioner will actually offer ultra violet protection, as ultra-violet will rapidly cause weakening of the leather and significantly shorten its lifespan. A good-quality conditioner will be absorbed into the custom car leather, not sit on top of the surface or either leaves of the residue behind. Cheap leather cleaners and conditioners will contain petroleum essences, silicon oils and gloss agents that delivers an inferior, greasy finish that does nothing for the leather and transfers to anything that the custom car leather comes in contact with and can be harmful to it.
