Contrary to what industry trends have led you to believe, all leathers except for full-aniline/full-grain are treated from the factory with a protective coating to help color the leather and aid in future leather maintenance – that said, traditional conditioners & cleaners contain additives and softeners that can clog the pores of the leather. Pair that with the daily buildup of any sweat, body oils, lotions, etc. this will lead to leather that appears shiny and feels sticky. This is a direct indicator that your leather needs to be cleaned – enter GYEON Leather Cleaner. Our Q²M Leather Cleaner Mild is formulated with no softeners, conditioners, or additives to ensure an effective clean that leaves behind a pure matte surface that is ready to accept a leather coating. Matte leather = Clean leather.

When applying Q² Leather Shield, you want to make sure that you achieve the most even layer possible. There’s no need to push hard when applying – we’re not trying to force it into the pores of the seat. What we want is a nice, gentle, even layer that sits on top of the surface. This will help avoid any unwanted high spots and will ensure the most effective bond to the leather surface. Allow the coating to cure for a minimum of 6 hours before using the vehicle as normal. Once applied, let dry for 3-5 minutes, and wipe any excess with the included Q²M BaldWipe EVO.
