Amazing All Leather Type Conditioner w/ test pics.
Since I there has been a good amount of attention to the Stay Fresh leather conditioner, I decided to make a separate thread to not only showcase the great work it does but to also show others how to achieve the look they want whether it be a matte finish or a glossy look.
Application was done with a Shine and Conditioner hex pad. I cannot stress how amazing these are. They will ABSORB all the dirt and grime which does not allow it to be smeared across the surface like a sponge would. These are also super resilient. When I first read about them, the resiliency factor didn't catch much of my attention but after trying them out it is a must have. No matter how or where you use them, they will always bounce back to life. Onto the Leather Conditioner. It is super easy and simple to work with. Just apply it to a pad and spread it across the surface. How much you apply to the pad will affect the glossiness of the area. You can also add multiple layers to really get a nice shine going. For a matte look, just apply a small amount and work it into the surface. You will see the area begin to gain a truer color without much gloss. If the area is still to glossy, follow up with a quick wipe using a microfiber towel or the clean backside of the hex pad. The conditioner really works itself to the leather so it will not be removed with a quick wipe of the towel. The conditioner also works great with faux/ synthetic leather. It cleans it up real well while restoring natural color and adding a layer of UV protection. If you live anywhere with a scorching sun, you'll know the damage it can create to any surface. UV protection is crucial and this conditioner is doing a great job at it so far. What are words without pictures. Here are some quick shots of what the conditioner can do to a car that is just a few months old. Here is the dash before applying anything. Notice the small dullness that is forming After a light coat of the conditioner and a wipe down. Hard to ger a good angle here because of the windshield. The right side has conditioner applied. The sunlight actually disrupts the image a bit but notice how more natural the color is on the right. This is the door panel before anything was applied. Looks good right? It can always be better 50/50 shot of the conditioner applied without wiping any off. A couple close ups to show the depth it brings to the color. How a matte finish looks like after wiping off the excess gloss. I just used the backside of the hex pad to remove any extra conditioner. Here is glossy vs matte. You can achieve higher gloss with multiple layers. 50/50 of the door arm rest. Gotta get those speakers FRESH! A nice comparison between sections. The conditioner working itself into the voids A finished Passenger side vs an untouched driver side. Notice the BIG difference it creates. A truly great product. The conditioner is super easy to apply and very manageable. It is not greasy at all nor does it create a foul odor. It actually restores a natural new leather smell that is not overwhelming at all. Hard to tell from this picture but in person you can actually see all the dirt that the hex pad traps inside without smearing it around. Here are some pics from my previous review. This is a several year old Italian leather couch that was used in a visit living room. The conditioner acts as a very potent cleaner wherever there is grime and actually produces a super noticeable difference. It also restores the natural leather feel and after a period o testing, it still remains looking good. The conditioner applied itself practically. The Hex pad just slid over the leather and cleaned everything off. No effort was needed at all Will be updating with more pictures.

No greasyness is left behind.
It can be applied with a hex pad or microfiber, but the reasonI prefer the hex pad is that it really picks up the dirt much more than a typical microfiber would.

While the dash is not real leather, the main reason I applied it was for UV protection. After testing it out it actually improved the appearance and restored the color. I'd say this product is safe on almost anything rubber/leather/synthetic inside of the car.
