Ledermax Mild Cleaner 1.0
Mild Leather Cleaner
- Safe on Leather, Vegan Leather, Vinyl, and Alcantara
- Ideal for new leather or lightly used seats
- Pair with the Ledermax Cleaning Sponge
The Cleaner #1.0 from Ledermax is part of a simple three-chemical cleaning system; it's the gentler of the two cleaners, and where I think most people should start. You'll want to use this if you have a new/new-ish car, say 1-2 years old. This gets the leather prepared to receive the conditioner #2.0.
How to clean and protect with the Ledermax system
- Dampen the Yellow Cleaning Sponge
- Apply the cleaner to the Applicator, not the leather
- Scrub in circular and back and forth motions
- Wipe clean with a 100% cotton cloth or a soft microfiber.
- Apply the Conditioner #2.0 to the white Applicator Sponge
- Apply gently in circular motions
- Level the conditioner, then using the dry side of the Applicator, dab the surface to leave a clean satin finish.
Additional tips
- Clean the Yellow Sponge with water in between sections.
- Let the conditioner #2.0 dry on the leather; never wipe it off.
- Multiple rounds of conditioning might be required for older dryer leather.
If you follow this process, the leather ends up clean, smooth, and protected without looking greasy. This is the system I trust.
