Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner - 1 Gallon Concentrated 2‑in‑1 for Automotive Leather, Non‑Greasy Finish

Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner D18001 is a concentrated 2-in-1 automotive leather treatment that cleans, conditions, and restores factory appearance in one pass.

Designed for professional detailers and car owners who demand thorough leather care, this 1-gallon formula tackles dirt, oils, and light wear while replenishing flex and suppleness. The product is formulated specifically for automotive leather, balancing effective cleaning with conditioning agents to help maintain the look and feel of seats, panels, and trim without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. Its size and concentration make it practical for frequent use in shops, fleet maintenance, or serious do-it-yourself projects.

How does this product clean and condition leather without damaging it?

The formula uses gentle surfactants to lift soils and body oils, followed by conditioning ingredients that penetrate fibers to reduce stiffness and restore appearance. It avoids harsh solvents and strong acids, so it is safe for most factory-finished automotive leathers when used as directed. Always spot-test an inconspicuous area before full application.

• Balanced surfactants remove surface dirt and oils.
• Conditioners soften and help reduce drying and cracking.
• Non-greasy finish preserves factory texture and sheen.
• Concentrated gallon size for multiple cleanings and economy.

What surfaces and stains is it best suited for in a vehicle?

Created for automotive leather, this product works well on seats, bolsters, door panels, and center consoles made from finished leather. It is effective on everyday contaminants like body oils, food smudges, light dye transfer, and dust; severe stains or unsealed leathers may require specialized treatment.

• Finished automotive leather surfaces such as upholstery and trim.
• Removes oils, everyday grime, and light surface stains.
• Not intended for unsealed aniline leathers without testing.
• Compatible with follow-up protectants for longer-lasting results.

How should professionals and DIYers apply the gallon-sized formula?

For best results dilute or use directly depending on soil level, apply with a soft applicator or microfiber towel, agitate gently if needed, and wipe away loosened dirt. After cleaning, allow leather to dry, then buff in any remaining conditioner to even the finish. The one-gallon container is convenient for refill stations or bulk use in detail bays.

• Light soils: dilute according to label for economical use.
• Heavier soils: apply neat to a towel or brush and work gently.
• Wipe and buff with clean microfiber to remove residue.
• Store container upright in a cool, dry place to preserve performance.

Will this product change the look or color of my leather?

When used as directed on finished automotive leathers, it cleans and subtly restores appearance without noticeably darkening or altering color. Because individual leathers and dyes vary, test an out-of-sight spot first; this confirms appearance and compatibility before treating entire panels.

• Formulation aims for a natural, non-gloss finish.
• Restores suppleness without heavy darkening.
• Spot-test recommended for sensitive or custom-dyed leathers.
• Follow with a protectant to maintain color and condition longer.

Who is this for? Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner D18001 is aimed at professional detailers, automotive shops, fleet managers, and car enthusiasts who need a reliable, concentrated leather care solution in bulk. It suits anyone who wants a combined cleaner and conditioner that performs well on finished automotive leather, saves time with a 2-in-1 approach, and keeps multiple vehicles looking showroom-ready without constant reapplication.
