Leather Conditioners Evaporating

Sorry. I don't buy it.



You apply the rejuvinator to your dirty seats.. and while it's 'soaking in' the Rejuvinator is also soaking up dirt and oils from your body and depositing them right into your leather.



I know that a lot of folks like leatherique and praise it. I've yet to try it myself so this is just what I think about it. I guess one could always pre-clean the seats if it bothers them (ie me) so much.

Ive tried a bunch of leather cleaners and leatherique is my favorite. I differ from the norm with the use though. I use prestine clean about 24 hours before i use the rejuvinator oil. I apply and wipe off after 30 min. Then I shut the doors and dont drive the truck. I then apply the oil the following day and leave it on for atleast 1 day. Works wonderfully.

Thanks for the experiment D&D. I didn't realize there was that much evaporation. Without being a chemist hard to say why. I know when you get into solvents and alcohol you get accelerated evaporation, but those wouldn't be in those formulas. But come to think of it I've mopped a few floors that were evaporating by the time I got to the next room.



I still don't think it proves all conditioners necessarily leave a harmful residue. (I know you weren't saying that) After all, if they are drying too fast, you can just slightly dampen the applicator, like you might with a paste wax. But usually you buff them out before that happens.

I didnt think they evaporated that fast, or if any. But I guess they really do.

Whether you buy it or not, it works wonderfully. To me, it seems the primary goal of Rejuv Oil is to loosen the dirt and bring it to the top surface, which it does wonderfully. I am sure it "conditions" as well, but the thing that really makes it stand out is how it pulls/pushes/magically catapults the grime out of the leather.



I guess it's one of those don't knock it 'til you try it things.

This is why I stated I have not used it yet. Perhaps I will be impressed beyond belief when I do. Until then I will remain skeptical.
 
I haven't tried it either, just cuz 2 stages/days doesn't usually fit my regimen and the cost is a bit spendy. But one of these days I look forward to it, and I'm already convinced it works. A product called Soffener that I already use works very nice. You wait some time after application and with a damp cloth wipe the residue, but it sure isn't a lot of grime like Leatherique brings up.
 
Nice test...

I am not an expert but I de say that massaging the product into the leather is not comparable to spreading it on glass. I believe that the agents composing leather conditioner solutio are probably made to be absorb by the leather.

That's just my taughts, based only on logic.

what do you guys think?
