Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner 1 Gallon Concentrate — 2‑in‑1 Clean & Non‑Greasy Finish

Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner D18001 is a concentrated 2-in-1 formula that gently cleans, conditions and helps preserve automotive leather for a like-new appearance.

Designed for auto detailers and car owners who want professional results, this 1-gallon (128 oz) concentrate combines cleaning and conditioning in a single step. The formula removes dirt, body oils and light surface contaminants while leaving a non-greasy conditioned finish that improves suppleness and appearance. Made in the United States and packaged for repeated use, this size is ideal for workshops, fleet maintenance, or frequent at-home detailing.

How does this product clean and condition leather effectively?

The D18001 uses balanced surfactants and conditioners to lift soils without stripping natural oils needed for leather flexibility. After application, residues rinse or wipe away easily, leaving conditioners behind to reduce dryness and surface cracking risk. It’s formulated specifically for automotive hides rather than household leather finishes.

• Dual-action formula: cleans while laying down conditioning agents
• Non-greasy finish that avoids slippery seats
• Safe for most factory leather surfaces when used as directed

How do you use the 1-gallon D18001 safely and efficiently?

Measure concentrate and dilute according to the task—light maintenance uses a milder mix, heavy soiling a stronger ratio. Apply with a soft cloth, foam applicator or soft-bristle brush, agitate gently, then wipe or extract residue. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and follow vehicle manufacturer guidelines.

• Dilute for maintenance or presoak for stubborn dirt
• Use gentle tools: microfiber, applicator pad, or soft brush
• Spot-test colorfastness before full-coverage application

Will this product work on all leather types found in cars?

The formula targets automotive aniline, semi-aniline and pigmented leathers commonly used in vehicle interiors. Very delicate, untreated or specialty leathers (e.g., suede, nubuck, vintage hide) may need a product made specifically for that finish. For questionable surfaces, confirm compatibility with a small test patch first.

• Optimized for factory automotive leather finishes
• Not recommended as first choice for suede, nubuck or unsealed vintage leather
• Always test a hidden area to ensure color stability

What are the practical benefits of choosing the gallon size?

The 128 oz container is cost-effective for professional detailers, fleet managers, and enthusiasts who service multiple vehicles. Concentrated formula means more diluted gallons per container, reducing waste and purchase frequency. The larger size is convenient for refill stations in shops or for storing with other detailing supplies.

• Volume suits repeated professional use and multiple vehicles
• Concentrate reduces cost per application
• Durable packaging for shop storage and refill needs

Who is this for: Meguiar's Professional Leather Cleaner & Conditioner D18001 is intended for professional detailers, fleet maintenance teams, and car owners who prefer a reliable, concentrated leather care solution. It suits anyone seeking efficient, repeatable cleaning and conditioning for standard automotive leather, especially where economy and performance matter. Avoid use on unsealed specialty leathers and always follow dilution and spot-test recommendations for best results.
