Leather Care
If Leather is to retain its beauty, it must be cared for, cleaned and conditioned. It’s much easier to spend a little time protecting and conditioning your fine Leather upholstery than spending the energy and money to salvage it. Keeping your Leather in good condition begins with a thorough daily wipe down with your favorite one-step cleaner. Our daily “one-step” starts with Pinnacle Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on a damp Cobra Microfiber Towel.
Have seen Leather that has been ignored and mistreated? What remains is dried, prematurely aged, and cracked leather. This fragile leather, bombarded with UV radiation, cooked in infrared, and discolored with body oils, and finally rough sanded by ground-in dirt, is the result. Without proper care and conditioning your Leather will age rapidly, losing its luster and flexibility. This process is rapidly accelerated in warmer climates.
WHAT IS PROPER LEATHER CARE? Leather surfaces, are just like beautiful delicate skin. Leather must be carefully cleansed before it can be properly conditioned. The discriminating connoisseur always selects Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Cleaner for the last word in quality Leather Care.
THE TWO-STEP SOLUTION! Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Cleaner, a pure cleaner, free of petroleum solvents, silicone oils or gloss agents, penetrates deep into every pore. Especially when applied with the gentle agitating action of a Cobra Microfiber Application Pad, or a Carpet and Upholstery Scrub Brush. Agitation, not scrubbing that is the key. This agitation opens pores and allows moisture to penetrate deep, cleansing, lubricating and moisturizing. WARNING! Often inexpensive brands of leather cleaners and gloss agents contain petroleum distillates, silicon or silicon oils which cling to the surface and then are wiped onto clothing. Worse, they leave a greasy inferior finish. First, you must apply a quality Leather Cleaner like Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner. Then after a thorough cleansing, your Leather is ready for step two, application of a quality conditioner like market leaders, Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner or Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. These conditioners are calibrated to nourish and moisturize. They are engineered at a molecular level, to absorb deep into the cell fibers. Allowing these fibers to retain their resilience, and thereby inhibit premature aging. Proper conditioning allows fibers to retain flexibility. This prevents the dryness that leads to brittle cracked surfaces.
Many popular conditioners like Lexol Spray Leather Conditioner and the product recommended especially for the Bentley, Jaguar and Rolls lines, Connolly Hide Care Conditioner are pH balanced, have stain repellants, and waterproofing agents to protect your beautiful interior from accidents. The Wolfgang Leather Care thingypit Kit contains all the tools you’ll need, AND it is pH balanced. If you only want the best for both Leather and Vinyl, there is simply no better comprehensive choice for ”state of the art” cleaners, conditioners and applicators than our specially packaged, Pinnacle Concours Interior Kit.
