Leatherique products
are unique in the way they work, and in their ingredients. Our Rejuvenator Oil
is a unique, proprietary blend of complex leather specific proteins and
collagens with none of the commercial fillers like wax, petroleum oils, or
silicones. The enriching formula, once bonded with the spongy leather fibers,
continues to nourish the hides for several months. On cardboard hard leather,
several applications may be required. Then for maintenance, use one application
2-4 times per year.
Prestine clean is a natural, gentle ph correct cleaner that is formulated to be
a perfect stand alone cleaner for maintenance dusting and detailing of all the
leather, vinyl, pvc plastic, and is also wonderful to soften black rubber trim
on seals, as well as keeping your tires clean and plump without the glazed donut
look. It is also used to remove any expelled dirt after applications of
Rejuvenator.
The proteins, collagens and and conditioners that find their way deep into the
natural pores of the leather and force out the dirt, perspiration, air
pollution, previously use products, and other toxins. These last agents are what
dry out and destroy the fibers of the leather, depleting their strength,
flexibility, and causing them to deteriorate.
Our products work especially well on leather car seats, motorcycle leather,
leather furniture, equestrian applications, and all other leather items.
Although it was named Rejuvenator Oil by founding fathers, Ty Peck and George
Pavlisko, Sr., this product actually contains no fillers such as mineral oil or
petroleum products as Lexol and other products do. The formula is based on a
natural Old Swedish secret and is a complex blend of proteins and collagens that
actually restore the tensile strength to the leather.
Our Rejuvenator does not just sit on top of the leather making it slick and
greasy, nor will it be absorbed into the stitching to rot it as commercial
products do.
Tests have been performed on our products by outside sources. They have
determined that Rejuvenator Oil in unique in it’s concept, and contains more
beneficial ingredients than any competing formula, or any other leather
treatment product on the market!
Because most leather have a surface colorant or protectant on the surface of the
leather, wear of the surface is normal. If your dye is worn away, call us or
see Restoring and Dyeing about our simple to use Leatherique Leather Dye.
The process, as outlined in our instructions, can bring remarkable results. Our
dye is the premier product of its type. It has continued to keep pace with
advances in co-polymer technology and uses only the finest, first-quality
pigments. We recommend a preventative maintenance "face lift" three to four
times a year with Rejuvenator Oil.
Optimum times to make applications are at
the seasonal changes and after hard use to prevent deterioration and shrinkage.
Use Prestine Clean as a maintenance cleaner and conditioner in one easy step,
each time the leather is stressed by weather or perspiration. Prestine Clean and
Rejuvenator Oil may be applied with your hands as heat helps it penetrate the
surface of the leather. They are both safe, natural and non-toxic.
Natural oils were used to treat leather and keep it flexible since the earliest
of cave man days. These natural oils included those excreted by the people who
wore the skins for warmth and by the animal fats from the foods they ate,
(recall they had not invented napkins or table manners).
As "modern" man began using more items derived from petroleum and their
by-products, they rationalized that the chemical oils would work to provide the
lacquer painted dyed surface the appearance of being softer and more
leather-like. It may have provided the lacquer finish with the allusion of
flexibility, but it actually was harmful for the leather fibers. These oils are
not at all necessary in the preservation of leather fibers, and actually help
induce the break down, separation of fibers, and rot of leather and stitching.
Remember that we coat our motor parts with petroleum oils so they do not stick
together. That is totally contrary to what we wish to accomplish with the
minuscule fibers that comprise our leather.
A good ladies face cream actually shares many ingredients with our Rejuvenator
Oil, including collagen. Face creams work on a process that allows nutrients to
seep down into the layers of the skin, helps them hydrate (retain moisture),
plumps the new skin cells and restores elasticity. The other ingredients such as
oils, mineral oils and lanolin in the face creams actually do nothing but soften
the dead surface skin cells so they may float away, exposing the vibrant new
skin cells underneath. After shaving, men's complexions have that "soft as a
baby's bottom" feel? It is purely commercialism on the part of razor
manufacturers to allude that the razor was the cause for this effect. Actually,
every day, men remove dead skin cells while shaving thus revealing the fresh new
skin underneath.
To the point, as leather ages, it no longer has the regenerative powers that
nature provided to maintain them. Leatherique Rejuvenator does simply that. It
provides the leather fibers with the same natural ingredients nature intended to
help keep them flexible and bound together.
Another myth about leather care involves the Silicon based and "sealer type"
family of products, including wax. These products do nothing but cause a seal
on your leather, vinyl, and rubber, which may provide an attractive finish, if
you want shinny, upon initial application, as all the dried pores are now filled
in with the sealer and the surface has a more uniform, glossy appearance.
Silicon products applied to leather do not allow the leather fibers to breathe
or receive any nourishment. Would your skin benefit from wearing rubber gloves
perpetually or wrapping yourself from head to toe in an air tight coating?
Avoid all raw silicone oil based products. The silicone oil will dissolve out
the leather's natural oils and tend to make the leather sticky. Silicone oil's
high electrostatic attraction will attract dust, grime, and air pollution to
your tack. We absolutely do not recommend these products for any type of leather
application.
Many myths still exist about exactly what leather is. Automotive grade leather
is the top split, the actual top layer removed from the hide of the hide. It
has natural flaws characteristic of the animal to which the skin once belonged.
There are many "leathers" that are actually the thin bottom suede split of the
hide. These splits have been coated with a vinyl type coating and a grained
impression is applied with rollers. According to U.S. Government standards,
these should actually be labeled and sold as suede. However, after being
treated, they are being passed as "genuine leather" to the consumer .If you are
looking to purchase leather upholstered furniture, apparel, handbags, luggage,
or equestrian tack assure your self that it is only of the top quality. Use
vendors who guarantees precisely what grade of leather your piece is made of.
Good quality leathers have been known to last generations with just a little
love and care. Our founding family owned and operated company has been offering
leather care advice and premium products for 50 years. Please call us any time
