    Hide Food

    Hide Food
    Hi guys. I was talking with a distant family member who has a descent ferrari collection and he was telling me about how he treats his leather with hide food over night every now and again to keep it tight and soft. Anybody use hide food. Is it worth it?

    I heard this before, it's not something new but i believe that modern detailing products for leather do a better job.

    never heard of that either. i usually use a product called leatheriq i believe and it is an oil to massage into the leather. it keeps it super soft and some of the best stuff around. lexol isn't too bad and there are a few products from chemical guys that work well too as a cleaner / conditioner.

    My buddy told me it really helps with keeping it soft but also from overly stretching and "wrinkling"

    Do you plan to use it on your cars?

    Leatherique Prestine Clean and Leatherique Rejuvenation Oil work great for Lamborhini seats. $100 for the combo, the oil can be used annually while the cleaner can be used just about any time you want.

    And I just apply it via towel and wipe down my seats basically?

    Yes, use Prestine Clean by liberally spraying it directly onto your seats. Using a microfiber cloth, wipe it of and you'll see the dirt start to lift almost immediately. Oiling the seats is a more lengthier process, if you're up to truing a DIY, I can definitely go into detail about it. But if you are hesitant, take your car to a professional that is familiar with Leatherique Oil. The oil works great because it keeps your seats looking rich and prevents fading and cracking.

    Also, to protect the leather, I would suggest layering a hydrophobic coating onto it which would bead any sort of spill right off the seat. Dr Beasleys, CQuartz, and Gyeon all offer products that would protect leather.

    Have you ever used ceramic pro's products... I've heard things about it but they tried to get me to do a coating for them and they were very persistent but I never ended up doing anything. Is it good or bad, and does it hurt the paint at all
