Leatherique Prestine Clean Reviews
Professional Detailer Reviews
Prestine Clean will leave your leather with a clean, matte finish that is noticeably soft to the touch. I find myself using Leatherique Prestine Clean on just about every car that I detail, including my own personal vehicles. It's very easy to use, it has a long proven history, it's quite versatile, and it works...well! [It's] a very powerful (yet safe) and versatile all-in-one leather product, meaning that it cleans, conditions, and provides UV protection.
I have been using Prestine Clean for years on many different manufacturers' leather interiors. One thing is consistent with the product; it cleans oils and denim transfer with no apparent negative effects on the underlying leather. I'd highly recommend you clean your leather steering wheel with Prestine Clean. If it's not damaged, the wheel will feel like it did the day you purchased the car.

I use this strictly for cleaning up after I used their rejuvenator for leather. If you go to their website and read and follow the instructions, it works. Time consuming but worth the time and effort you will be rewarded at the outcome. The only other product I found to be as good is Leather Honey.
This product is simply the best, love it!
I purchased the Pristine Clean and Rejuvenator Oil for my BMW Z4.
Pros: 1) Easily applied 2) Cleans well without stripping moisture. 3) Leaves a natural clean shine and enhances the existing color. 3) A relatively small amount goes a long way, which in my opinion makes this worth what initially appears to be a high price.
Cons: 1) Detailed instructions for use must be looked up rather than printed on the bottle. 2) I can't tell a significant difference (appearance-wise) from heating. 3) I cannot tell that it helps with trim.
I have also used it on my white leather couch and what a difference it made!
Overall, I have used many different leather cleaners over the years and it is my opinion that this has been the best!

This is a super stand alone cleaner/ protector for your everyday leather seat details. Works best when coupled with the oil and the use this product to clean.
Prestine Clean is great! Will be my go-to cleaner from now on. Has no smells, leaves no residue, just a clean surface. I love it.

I've been using Leatherique products for years and while I don't use Rejuvenator very often, I use Pristine Clean all the time. To "wash" the interior I use a "two bucket" method, mixing an ounce or two of P.C. in a gallon or so of warm water and use a soft brush and/or microfiber towel to clean the whole interior. I rinse my brush/towel in a bucket of fresh water from time to time, and the amount of dirt that it removes is impressive. Stubborn stains can easily be tackled with full strength Pristine Clean.
I also wipe down the weather stripping with the same solution. One of my favorite detailing products!

Great product. In addition to upholstery, use it on rubber window, door, trunk, and hood seals.
I must say that I'm quite surprised by the number of reviewers who wrote the product didn't do anything. All I can think of is that they didn't use the product correctly. I have a 2007 Acura MDX that I had since new but never gave the interior a good cleaning. I let the interior heat up with the sun and sprayed this product on my seat. I let it sit for roughly 20 minutes (instructions state 15-30) and then used a brush lightly before using a dampened towel with warm water to wipe it off. OMG, it was like night and day in terms of the color. I had no idea my seats were so dirty...and it took off the jean stains as well that just got darker over the 8 years I've owned the car. I just couldn't believe all the dirt that came off. My interior looks brand new now except for the natural leather wear marks. I love this product and my experience shows it works as advertised so long as you use it as instructed.
This product did not do anything. It didn't remove or even lighten any of the fabric dye as shown on their web site. My seats are identical to the one shown in photo. I would not waste my money on this product for any type of fabric dye stains on Leatherette interiors. Spending $40 to see if works is definitely a big rip -off! Warm water and Ivory liquid at least showed minimal results.
Did not remove Jean and belt stains from seat.
Good stuff! Removed everything that the Rejuvenator Oil brought to the surface. A very simple & quick process. Made cleaning the interior easy.
Leatherique left my car seats looking clean and smelling good.
I have used Leatherique for several years, on British and Italian cars. I have seen no improvement on any of my cars. The dye on the Testarossa went well, but I see no penetration of oil in any of the eight cars I have used the product on. Also low temperatures during shipment of product to me in Texas a very expensive new dash for a 456M-GTA Ferrari is no longer of show quality, the product got to a to low of temperature The key is to get the leather CLEAN before you do anything, putting more product on is not the answer. Look into a Tornador-Black, then decide for yourself what oils you want to use to put life back into your leather.
Prestine clean is the best leather clean I ever used. I like that it leaves a natural matte finish and is not greasy or shiny like other products. It made my car seats and a dirty old leather motorcycle jacket of mine look like new again. The first bottle I bought was a white liquid the second one was brown colored. I found out that it is normal for the color to be either white or brown, which I thought was strange.
Leatherique products are the best that I have found for leather treatment. I sell many gallons of the oil & cleaner at car shows. Everyone is impressed with their excellent results.
The price is right and the leatherique products are wonderful. My husband bought an 1991 SAAB that had been sitting outside all last winter. The interior was wet and moldy including the seats.They were hard and discolored and we thought that there was no way to save them. I used the leatherique as directed, letting the rejuvenator sit on the leather overnight when it was in the 80's this summer then cleaned them with the Prestine Clean and a Magic Eraser. I did this three times and the leather is now soft and clean. I think I will give them one more application before we store it for winter. We also have a 1994 Saab that needs a lot of TLC. I am confident that the Leatherique will do the job. I think this product would be great for leather chairs or anything leather that needs cleaning and softening.
Just did the seats in a 1990 ZR1 Corvette. While they looked perfect before I started, the dirt and film that came off was amazing. Now they look like brand new and the interior smells just like new again. Seems like a great product, easy to apply - just follow directions.
I do a lot of leather cleaning and conditioning, and other than Swissvax leather products you just can't beat Leatherique.
This is one of the best leather products in the industry. Very easy to apply, very easy to use and it does a wonderful job of cleaning, conditioning and protecting. Not only have i used this on vehicle interiors, but i tested it out on my leather dress shoes and it has worked great. Keeps leather looking rich and feeling supple. If you truly want to clean and maintain a proper leather interior, this is a must have product.
If you own a car with leather interior you have to buy pristine clean. Use with a brush and warm water you'll be surprised at how much dirt comes out of your upholstery. It gives off a great leather smell, too. Best detailing product for your interior!
This stuff is great! My seats and all my leather was noticeably softer, made my steering wheel feel like brand new, I was very impressed with how well this stuff worked!
Pristine clean is a great product. I followed the directions from Todd in his article and achieved perfect results. Yes, there are cheaper products out there, but I will only use pristine clean and eventually the rejuvenator oil on my car.
This product made my 12 year old leather look great! I used it in conjunction with the Rejuvenator Oil. This is a MUST on any leather seat owner.
This stuff is just terrific. You can really see how well it cleans on light colored seats. Used it on beige leather. It removed a light layer of dirt/oil film as well as dye transfer from jeans.
Great product. It cleaned my seats wery well. I need to purchace the rejuvenator now in hopes that it will enhance my leather interior more. I would recommend this product for anyone who wants a nice leather cleaner that doesn't leave your seat looking and feeling greazy. Easy application and removal.
If you're going to clean and recondition leather, start with the Rejuvenator, let it work and be patient, and then follow with Pristine Clean. I have used this combination on several vehicles, and it has always worked very well. While you really do need to use pristine clean after the rejuvenator, you can use pristine clean by itself. It works very well on rubber (door seals, for example), and it works on vinyl. If you encounter an area that is heavily soiled, use a soft brush. And, keep in mind, this is not a miracle product. It won't fix everything, and it may require repeated applications, but it has worked well for me.
I'd hate to be the first to give a bad review, but usually when the product costs more than the competition you expect more. I used the writeup for this product on this Site on cleaning my leather seats. I'm an Aviation Technician, over time time my seats get oil deposits, and we wear mandatory blue jeans, so often I get blue dye on them. I couldn't get everything removed. I cleaned the driver seat 3 times and felt I met the limitations of the product.
A must buy if you're using the Rejuvenator Oil (Which is a must buy if you want to take care of anything leather). The Rejuvenator Oil is sticky once it's dry and Prestine Clean removes it effortlessly.
Great stuff. Easily cleans up whatever is on the leather or vinyl and leaves a clean, non-sticky finish.
This is the only product that removes blue jeans stains on my leatherette interior (Cornsilk color). Make sure to buy a horsehair brush to do the job.
I listen to Todd Cooperider and follow his advise. I'm so glad I did with this one!
This is my go-to product now for leather cleaning on my e46 M3. I use to be a newb and use Meguairs leather wipes that leaves an oily finish on my seats. Since then I have tried several other leather cleaning products and have decided to stick with Leatherique after using Oil Rejuvenator and Prestine Clean. Leaves a nice, clean matte finish on my seats after.
This product worked well in conjunction with the oil and alone. On one car I used the oil and let it sit for 24 hours and then used the pristine. On the second car I used only the pristine since the car was new. It worked very well, leaving the car with a clean new leather smell.
As everyone else has said, this is the best leather cleaner you can buy! Working in conjunction with Rejuvenator Oil, Made my 2004 BMW leather skin-soft and clean. Spend the money and you won't be disappointed!
My comments match others. This rocks and is by far the best cleaner I've used for leather. Beside car related things also works well for motorcycle jackets. Use with rejuvenator oil for best results.
Worked great, definitely lived up to the hype. This is now my go-to cleaner for my seats!
I used this to clean a 145 year old leather pistol cartridge box, and I must say it does a very thorough and safe job, and is surprisingly effective at cleaning out the stitching as well. An outstanding product.
Used this product on older seats that had previously received minimal care. I was amazed at the amount of dirt this cleaner lifted out of the leather.
You will be astonished (or sickened) at how dirty your "clean" seats really are. Magic in a bottle that works wonders beyond just leather (such as the window seals mentioned by Todd).
definately made the leather a bit softer. 10 year old leather was quite hard...i anticipate a few more treatments before it is back to where i would like it. Noticeable first time use difference.

Very good food for leather. Depending on the type of leather it may not clean very dirty leather without much work and product but it seems to last and really soften like no other leather product I have ever seen. Once seats are clean this product makes maintenance and light cleaning a breeze.
Awesome cleaner and conditioner for when you don't have the time for the full RO/PC regimen.
I used this product on a 2009 BMW 328i w/ cream leather. The shipment company's driver left heavy oil residue on the interior of the car, quite bad in fact. He had ground in the residue into the lines of the leather and the very picky owner was freaking out. A soft towel, Leatherique Cleaner and patience removed the issues and once completed the leather felt better than when it was purchased as new. A very soft brush was used in locations of deep areas in the lines of the leather, after a bit of a soak. Incredible product.
Great stuff!
As others have said, get a spray nozzle to help apply with ease.

Works great as described. Very easy to use.
This stuff works great. I used the recommendations in the prior reviews and used a sprayer for application. My wife's car is her office so it was certainly a test area in need of deep cleaning. I did two applications and immediately noticed the leather becoming soft and clean just like when it was new. Again, great stuff and will be looking for additional areas to test as I purchased the 32oz bottle! Thanks Detailed Image!

Used after the Rejuvenator Oil was left on my seats for four hours and this stuff is awesome! Yes, I'd recommend a spray bottle and soft brush also, but the key is to get the leather warm and keep it warm to get the best results.

I would also recommend a spray nozzle for applying this cleaner and using the soft brush. Extremely satisfied with the results, especially after using the Rejuvenator Oil.

This product performs superbly. Not only does it clean leather, but it works wonders on most other interior surfaces as well. Even the navigation screen screen on our 330xi!

I was floored by the results of this cleaner. I've tried so many other products in the past with no results. Prestine Clean pulled all of the dirt from the leather and really made it look like NEW!!!! I recommend using a soft brush to scrub the leather while spraying this on.
