Detailing the leather seats with this



Has anyone used this before? Does it really work as what it shows?

First... I always use Leatherique and it works perfect ,and about Swissvax I saw dicussions on here ,and your video was also posted on here .
Now from what I know is that it removes dirt and restores the color of the leather .
But one thing I know for sure...in the video it seems that it also removes the wrinkles of the leather...and that is actualy what the video shows !
So removing the wrinkles is what I refuse to believe , and exactly that is what the video makes...Wow !

I have used the cleaner and brush on my black leather on my m3, as well as on my wife's 650. I always used to use lexol or meguiars products on previous cars, but have found the swissvax cleaner to be much more effective. I am the second owner of my m3, and could not believe how much dirt came out of the seats. i wouldn't say the wrinkles are completely gone, but it made a noticeable difference. Creases and cracks would be a different story, I don't know of any way to get rid of those without repair/replacement of the leather.

I use leather armor. I use that and a microfiber towel. I would be careful using a brush unless absolutely neccessary.

I have leatherique and HATE it for my use. Its smelly, sticky and messy. Maybe if you have a super old car with cracking leather or incredibly dirty seats it may be useful. But NOT a good product for routine cleaning.

+1 not really a fan of leatherique. Hate the stickiness and smell


I've used Swissvax on several occasions and it works as shown in the video. However havn't really used SV in a while since switching to colourlock. It's the exact same product (Sv manufacturer) and its a fraction of the price. Hope this helps

Which Colourlock do you have Mild or strong? I'm looking at the web page. Where do you buy it?

I own both cleaners. Mild is the equivalent of the regular Sv cleaner. The strong is the same as Sv forte

My friend Dom @ www.scheerdetailing.com is the USA importer and sells it on his website as well as Amazon
