Optimum
Leather Protectant is another innovative product from
Optimum that cleans, restores, and protects leather surfaces, vinyl surfaces, and moldings. Optimum
Leather Protectant has a balance of cleaners, penetrating oils, and UV inhibitors that restores the original color of these surfaces, protects against and hides any scratches, and protects against sun damage.
Just like automotive paint which has undergone
major changes in technology, automotive leather and vinyl surfaces have also
improved considerably in the past decade. Nearly all automotive leather surfaces
are treated with special chemicals that provide resistance to scratching and
marring, increase their durability, and provide protection from weathering. The
chemistry of vinyl surfaces has improved dramatically as well to give these
surfaces leather look and leather feel. The vinyl surfaces are also treated with
similar chemicals as those used for automotive leather to increase their
durability and to provide protection from weathering.
These protective chemicals are lost over a period
of a few months. Optimum Leather Protectant cleans these surfaces and replenishes
the protective chemicals while adding UV protection to these substrates. Most
leather or vinyl protectants in the marketplace leave an oily film behind on
these surfaces which gives them a glossy look and an slick feel. Since these
products are not absorbed into these surfaces, they may last only a few days and
mainly act as a dust magnet.
Optimum Leather Protectant keeps leather supple and
helps reduce cracking of vinyl and leather surfaces, as well as reducing
scratching and marring. Optimum Leather Protectant penetrates and adheres to these
surfaces; therefore, it does not make these surfaces oily or slick, and provides
lasting protection. Optimum Leather Protectant also works great on the outside
trims and moldings. These are just some of the reasons why Optimum Leather Protectant
is preferred by many detailing professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Instructions and Tips
