Adams leather conditioner rocks

Just got my full assortment of adams products including the porter cable today. I just did my leather interior, dash and trim and WOW.. I have to say the seats and dash look a step up in quality with the leather conditioner applied. I have used alot of different leather products over the years and nothing comes close to this stuff. My wife was shocked also, the blacks are now black not dark gray looking. Thanks to Junkman, this forum and Adams.

It is good stuff. I made the mistake of having too much on the cloth I was using and did not realize it until it dried. Now I have a lot of it in the perforations on the seats. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to correct this?

Toothpick. Its time consuming but got to each perforation and just gently poke the caked up product thru... it won't harm anything to have it sitting between the foam and the surface.

I was going to recommend the interior boars hair brush with no product.. just a light once over should do the trick.

I was afraid it was going to be something like that. Thanks for the advice.

Not for use on suede, in all honesty what your brother has is in all likelihood Alcantara, which is a synthetic suede. In either case you want to avoid using cleaners, conditioners, or any liquids on it as it will ball up and look bad.

The best method is to just NOT GET IT DIRTY. I had alcantara inserts of the seats in my TBSS and all you can really do is blot at them with a VERY lightly damp microfiber towel and vacuum regularly. Stuff looks great but is a real pain to maintain.

Yeah that's probably what he has. Looks and feels like suede so that's what I was trying to say lol. Wow so there is no way to take care of it or to prevent the sun from fadiing it? Learned something new today. Thanks dylan
