Autoglym Leather Care Balm, Nourishes & Protects Automotive Leather, 500 ml

Autoglym Leather Care Balm, 500 ml,Bought this for my mum whom has a new car and the seats are leather. The car while being clean inside and out you could tell the previous owner just wiped the sits down and didn't actually remove the stains from the everyday family car that you get.Firstly i would say if your going to buy the balm it also worth getting the cleaner aswell both compliment the other and in my opinion did the job very wellThe balm is designed to protect and maintain the leather after its been cleaned.For the balm product this did help make the leather look more factory fresh giving a more matte finish rather than something that looks shiny. Although i would say this balm helps if you have leather that feels dry or stiff.So you don't have to use this balm after every clean you can typically get away with just applying it every few month to 6 months so this little bottle should actually stretch quite far.This add a layer of protection to help reduce the effect of everyday dirts so the leather can last longer.This is quite easy to apply a thin coat of solution and spread across the foam applicator which help out massively (you don't necessarily need the applicator it does help but you can get away with a micro fibre cloth if you don't have one)Before use just don't do what i did i rushed the cleaning process and missed a couple of area's on the drivers seat and you do notice a difference when it comes to trying to buff it out so make sure the leather is cleaned and hoovered properly leaving no dirt behind.I found you don't need to use alot of solution in a small area otherwise your be spending more time trying to buff it off and it can leave some residue if its over applied.Overall i like the results and it does make the interior look alot more fresh than it did previously, did leave a little scent afterwards its hard to say what it smells like but it wasn't at all bad nor sharp to your nose.Was happy with the value however, if its on offer it worth a try.Be warned this isn't going to fix any issues with the dye or cracked/damaged leather.

This balm makes the seats look brand newEasy to applyLooks good and has the smell of new leather

Good product good price

Brilliant for my grey leather sofa made a hard job pretty easy. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to clean there leather sofa.

My Experience with Autoglym Leather CleanerI use Autoglym Leather Cleaner to keep my car’s leather interior looking clean, fresh and well maintained. I find it effective at removing everyday dirt and marks while being gentle on the leather. It helps bring the leather back to a clean, cared-for appearance without leaving it feeling overly greasy, making it a product I’m happy to use as part of my regular car care routine.

Used Autoglym Leather Cleaner first and later neutralised with water. Then a thin metal spatula (like that used for opening mobile phone cases) to spread filler very sparingly across the grain of cracks in a leather car seat. Cleared off as much as possible while carefully making sure there was enough of the filler left in the crack to build it up. Use a clean cloth gently to ‘level’ any imperfections and balance the filled areas. Wait for hardening, then buff. Repeat as necessary using very thin layers to build up. Keep the filler as close to the area as possible with as little spreading beyond the cracked area as possible.Later used Furniture Clinic recolouring balm and spatula to apply colour quite thickly, then used a neutral cotton cloth to spread the recolouring gel balm across the wider area – the whole panel. Work on one specific area/panel at a time. Wait a few minutes before buffing with a microfibre cloth. Leave for a couple of hours and reapply if necessary and rebuff. The surface will change from matt to satin reflection.Areas where the filler has been used may show a slight dark grey discolouration (from black) even after a couple of colour treatments. Wait about ten minutes after colour re-application, cloth to spread over the area, buff and then leave for a few hours. Use a clean microfibre cloth to buff to make sure no colour is coming off.Then applied the Autoglym leather care balm area by area using a microfibre cloth. This will lift some of the colour onto the cloth, (keep turning the cloth) buff again after a few minutes and check for colour fastness. It might be sensible to not wear white clothes when seated, at least till the surface becomes colourfast.Overall, the combination of Autoglym Leather Cleaner, Scratch Doctor filler, Furniture Clinic Recolouring balm and Autoglym Leather Care balm worked well on black leather car seats. Very good at filling in nicks and minor scuffs. For any tears or rips, use Bostick rubberised superglue ( or Bostick instant) to 're-lay' before applying filler and other treatments. There are plenty of videos on the internet to guide on more complicated repairs. The best finish can only be achieved by full refurbishing, using fine (eg 1200 grit) sanding, rigorous time-consuming preparation and spraying the leather with colour-matched paint to restore the original finish. This is something of a specialist art.While this combination of products is quite expensive (and others were not tried) the results are more than acceptable on 18-year-old black grained leather seats.

Excellent product, did a better job than expected on an old armchair. Will definitely buy more when this is finished.

Excellent
