{"product_id":"elements-xpert-leather-conditioner","title":"Leather Conditioner Nourishing Cream","description":"\u003cp\u003eCar leather dries out from the inside. Heat through the glass, cold nights and the constant rub of getting in and out pull the oils out of the hide, and once they have gone the surface goes hard, then hairline cracks appear along the bolster where the seat flexes most. Elements Xpert Leather Conditioner is a nourishing cream that reintroduces those essential oils, softening the leather and leaving a layer of protection on the natural hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReintroduces the essential oils that keep hide supple, rather than just coating the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftens leather that has already gone stiff, which is where cracking starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds protection to the natural hide against everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream formula, so it is worked into the pores rather than sprayed on and wiped off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied sparingly — a small amount covers a full seat panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1L bottle, the trade size, for anyone doing more than one car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, every time. A leather cleaner opens the pores and lifts grime out; conditioning is the step that replaces what the cleaning took with it. Twice a year is enough on a daily driver, more often on a car that lives outside or on light leather in a south-facing driveway. Concentrate on the driver's bolster and the seat base — they take the wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeather Conditioner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNourishing cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDilution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady to use — do not dilute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrofibre cloth or applicator pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElements Xpert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStraight from us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSparingly is the word. Leather takes in what it needs and the rest sits on top collecting dust and going shiny, which is the greasy look people blame on the product. A pea-sized amount on an applicator does a whole seat panel — work it in, leave it twenty minutes, then buff the excess off with a dry microfibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it won't do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will not clean.

Shine and slickness come from leaving excess product on the surface, so use a small amount, work it in, and remove whatever the leather has not taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on Alcantara or suede?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Leather Conditioner is for smooth finished hide.
