Gtechniq - L1 Leather Guard AB - BioCote Technology, Protection Against UV Rays, Abrasion Damage, Dyes Transfer and Other Discolorations, Matte Finish - 100 milliliters

It was easy to use.

I went with the small bottle to try it before committing to a large bottle. The spritzer cap was useless (no mist, no stream, no nothing) so I had to blot my applicator pad instead. Seemed to go on fine and I like the way it left my leather seats.

I was recommended this product by a friend who details cars and knows a lot about them. I purchased this item for my mustang which has a good amount of leather especially the steering wheel. The product works very well and doesn’t leave a oiled feeling and helps a lot from the sun.

Really easy to use. Nice matte finish for the first wipe on, second coat is satin. Leaves no high spots doesn’t smell like much just a cleaner type of scent. Does leave the leather soft and looking like it was just off the showroom floor.

In February, I decided to replace the upholstery in my car with leather. With that in mind, after searching and asking around, this product was recommended to me, so I decided to give it a shot. About a day after having the leather installed, I applied the Gtechniq Leather Guard. As per directions, I applied the leather guard, waited 36-hours, then applied a second application before giving the leather another 24-hours to sit before using the vehicle again. To be clear, the car was not used, not were the seats sat in until 24-hours after the second application. With new leather, I wanted to ensure I did everything perfectly to get the most out the the product. The second application was done February 17th.While waiting, I did apply the solution to a pair of old leather shoes and sprayed some water on them to test. The water beading worked quite well - but then again, with leather beads water away quite well to begin with.March 3rd, while cleaning the car, I noticed some small, simple dirt buildup on the seats. I smiled, remember I applied the leather guard and immediately thought "awesome, I get to test how easy dirt is to remove". I wiped -- dirt was still there. I wiped with a bit of elbow grease -- dirt still there, no change. I began lightly scrubbing with a bit of water -- little to no change. I grabbed some cleaner, then began to lightly scrub and finally I began to see signs of the dirt disappearing. I continued scrubbing and adding a bit more cleaner but the dirt was slowly disappearing. Finally I was fed up, I applied a good amount of cleaner, let it foam, then began scrubbing as I'd do had no guard been on the leather. Finally the stain was mostly gone.When all was said and done, I was fairly disappointed. The leather guard didn't do much to protect the leather from stains. While coffee was spilled on the seat (a different seat) a week prior, it wiped away easy, but again, this is leather, not cloth. Leather doesn't absorb liquids quite as quickly or as well as cloth.To cut to the chase, I'm disappointed with this product. I was expecting protection from stains and easy removal in the event stains and dirt did find their way onto the leather. I'm not saying the guard doesn't work, but rather that it doesn't work nearly as well as the description would lead you to believe.In short, I'm a disappointed customer and I'm currently looking for a new product that actually works.

Bought this because it was recommended by professional detailer. Got great results.

Bought this product in December 2022 and I’ve used it quite a bit! It’s easy to apply and directions are pretty simple!Most modern leather car seats have a protective clear coating over them so I stopped using products that advertised “clean, condition, and protect your leather,” because those aren’t actually getting through to the leather. This product adds a nice layer of protection!The only issue I have is that the my particular bottle came with a bad spray nozzle. Rather than misting on evenly to my foam applicator it just streams the liquid in almost a line. Maybe it’s supposed to function like that I’m not sure, but it is annoying to apply it to the applicator pad.

Thank you
