Automotive top grain leather, despite its less sensitive finish, requires careful cleaning. We use pH-balanced plant-based cleaners that are enriched with moisturiser, combined with the gentle use of a leather brush.  

This thorough yet safe cleaning method, though it takes more time, effectively cleans the leather without causing colour loss or wearing down the top coat. Such risks are notably higher when using melamine foam or more abrasive cleaning methods.

These leathers are treated with a specially formulated cream designed for non-porous top grain leather. This treatment provides essential UV protection to prevent fading, delivers nutrients that keep leather soft and comfortable, and includes antioxidants to guard against premature aging. 

It’s important to note that Split and artificial leathers require different treatment formulation. What works for these materials is not suitable for non-porous top grain leathers, as their unique characteristics demand specialised care.

Our essential protective service includes applying a leather sealant that offers basic defense against dye transfer and wear abrasion.

For enhanced protection, we recommend our advanced leather coating. This superior treatment guards against dye transfer, UV fading and surface wear, while preserving breathability of your automotive genuine leather items. Additionally, this coating allows future treatments to penetrate effectively, ensuring long-lasting care for your prized leather pieces.

Yes, we offer comprehensive restoration services for automotive non-porous top grain leathers.

We carefully match the original finish, ensuring your leather regains its vibrant look and tactile quality while preserving its authentic character.

For automotive leathers, these damages are typically caused by substances like body lotion or hair cream. While we can restore colour, the durability and quality of the repair may be compromised over time due to the nature these greases.

With regular wear and tear, top grain leather can experience fading. The good news is that faded areas on top grain leather can often be readjusted to restore their original appearance.

For tears and repairs, especially on porous leather, repair may remain visible. In these cases, the priority should be should be on stabilising the damage while retaining the leather’s tactile quality.

When deciding between restoration and replacement, consider both cost-effective and cost-efficient solutions. Sometimes, reupholstering or replacing the leather may be more practical and economical than restoration, which can be labour-intensive and costly.

Split and artificial leathers, particularly after about five years of use, are prone to peeling and cracking. Unfortunately, repairing these materials is often not a long-lasting solution, as the repairs may not hold up well and other areas of the leather may soon begin to peel or crack. In such cases, replacing the leather is usually a more cost-effective and practical option.
