Malco Leather & Plastic Cleaner Gallon Concentrate — Penetrating Formula for Automotive Leather, Vinyl & Plastic, Film-Free Finish

Malco Leather & Plastic Cleaner is a professional-strength, penetrating cleaner that lifts dirt, grease, and oily residues from leather, vinyl, and plastic while leaving surfaces clean and naturally lustrous.

Designed for automotive interiors and other leather or synthetic surfaces, this gallon concentrate is formulated to reach into pores and remove embedded soils without leaving a sticky film. Made in the U.S.A. by Malco Automotive, the product is intended for use with a cloth, sponge, or applicator pad and is well suited to detailing shops, fleet maintenance, and attentive car owners who want a refreshed interior finish.

How does Malco Leather & Plastic Cleaner remove deep-seated grime?

The formula penetrates texture and seams to break down grease and soil so contaminants can be wiped away rather than smeared. It works on both smooth and textured finishes, helping revive appearance without over-saturating materials when used as directed.

• Penetrating cleaning agents lift oil and dirt from pores and seams.
• Rinses clear when wiped—no filmy residue remains.
• Safe on leather, vinyl and most hard plastics when spot-tested first.

Can I use this on steering wheels, seats, and consoles?

Yes — the cleaner is versatile and performs well on steering wheels, shift knobs, armrests, door panels, and other touch points. Apply indirectly to a cloth or pad, gently work into the surface, then dry to reveal a refreshed look.

• Ideal for high-contact areas prone to oils and dirt buildup.
• Use a soft applicator for stitched or delicate surfaces to avoid abrasion.
• Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness first.

What is the correct way to apply this gallon cleaner?

Do not spray directly onto materials; instead, dispense onto a cloth, sponge, or applicator pad and wipe the surface. After working the cleaner into the area, remove moisture and product residue with a clean, dry cloth to leave a clear, natural sheen.

• Follow label directions and test for color change before full use.
• Apply with a microfiber or soft sponge—avoid abrasive brushes on leather.
• Dry surfaces thoroughly to restore a film-free appearance.

Will this product alter the look or feel of leather or vinyl?

The cleaner is formulated to restore the original appearance and impart a subtle, non-greasy luster when wiped dry. It removes soils that dull surfaces while avoiding heavy conditioners so the material retains its natural texture and look.

• Removes contaminants that cause dullness without adding heavy residue.
• Leaves a clean, slightly enhanced sheen that looks like renewed material.
• Not a long-term conditioner—pair with a compatible protectant if added nourishment is needed.

Who this is for: This product is aimed at automotive detailers, fleet managers, restoration hobbyists, and vehicle owners who prefer professional-grade cleaning in a gallon size. If you manage multiple vehicles or perform frequent interior cleaning, Malco Leather & Plastic Cleaner provides a concentrated, U.S.-made solution that removes embedded soils and refreshes leather, vinyl, and plastic surfaces when used according to label instructions.
