Why treat your car's leather?

In the automotive world, the preservation and care of leather are crucial aspects that are often neglected. Yet treating your car's leather has a multitude of benefits. The benefits range from protection against wear and damage to improved aesthetics. They can also increase the resale value of your vehicle.

First of all, protecting leather from wear and damage is essential. This prolongs the durability and beauty of your car's interior. Leather is naturally subject to wear and tear from regular use, exposure to UV rays and the elements.

By applying a specific treatment, you create a protective barrier that helps prevent scratches, tears and discolouration of the leather. As a result, you can keep your interior looking like new and extend the life of your leather seats. This translates into long-term savings by avoiding premature repair or replacement costs.

As well as providing physical protection, leather treatment adds a touch of luxury and refinement to your vehicle.

Speaking of resale, leather treatment has a significant impact on the value of your vehicle on the second-hand market. Potential buyers attach great importance to the condition of the interior when evaluating a used vehicle.

By investing in leather treatment now, you maximise your car's resale potential. It makes good financial and practical sense.

Steps in leather treatment

Here are the steps to follow for effective leather care:

1. Deep cleaning
Before applying any protective treatment, it is essential to thoroughly clean the leather. Deep cleaning removes accumulated dirt, stains and residues. This powerful solution penetrates deep into the pores of the leather, effectively removing all impurities without damaging its delicate texture.

This step is done with the foam with Bōme Cleansing and Scrubbing Foam. Apply the foam to the Bōme cleaning brush and then vigorously scrub the leather.
The boar bristle brush will not scratch the leather.

Under your action, the foam turns grey as it captures all the dirt. Wipe off any excess product with the microfibre towel for car upholstery.

2. Applying the protective treatment

Once the leather is clean and dry, it's time to apply the treatment. You have two options for this step: restore the colour or protect it. Both steps are compatible on auto leather needs both aspects.

This is where you learn how to protect it from external damage and restore its original shine.

- Colour renovation option with Bōme Renovating Milk
If your leather needs an in-depth colour renovation, Bōme Renovating Milk is the ideal solution. This renovating milk is equivalent to the colourlock leather products you can find. Apply to a clean chamois and then to the leather. Massage the leather in circular motions so that the pigments are absorbed.

This product revives faded colours and conceals small imperfections, leaving your car's interior looking new and bright. It must be followed by the application of the protective gel to avoid colour transfer.

- Simple protection with protective gel

For effective protection without the need for colour renovation, protective gel is a practical choice. Its advanced formula creates an invisible protective barrier that repels water and dirt.

This protective gel acts like a protective lotion on car leather. It can be applied to car seats, steering wheels, etc. It prevents the leather from deteriorating more quickly.

Follow these steps to keep your car's leather in good condition and comfortable for your journeys.

Care tips after treatment: leather care

Now that you've made the wise decision to treat your car's leather, it's essential to look after it. This means putting in place a regular maintenance plan. Regular maintenance will maximise the benefits of this treatment.

It is recommended that you clean and maintain your car's leather at least once a month. This frequency helps maintain the cleanliness and integrity of the leather, by removing dirt, dust and accumulated residue. When cleaning, it is essential to use products specifically designed for cleaning leather, without aggressive solvents. This is essential to avoid damaging the finish applied during treatment.

What's more, these gentle products preserve the texture and colour of the leather while effectively removing stains and impurities. We recommend following our tutorial on how to clean and protect your leather upholstery.

Mr Chaussure's advice: avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and excessive heat. UV rays can cause irreversible damage to leather, leading to drying, discolouration and premature deterioration. If possible, park your car in the shade or use sun visors to protect the interior from direct sunlight.
