Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner vs Dedicated Leather Cleaners
Leather surfaces require special care to stay soft, clean, and free from damage. Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner is marketed as safe for leather — but how does it stack up against a dedicated leather cleaner? We ran side-by-side tests and compared the results to Complete Cabin Cleaner, which is also safe for finished leather.
Using Chemical Guys on Leather
- Safety: Did not cause discoloration or cracking in our testing on finished leather.
- Cleaning Power: Removed light dirt and oils but struggled with heavier buildup in creases.
- Finish: Left a slight sheen compared to the more natural look from dedicated leather products.
Using a Dedicated Leather Cleaner
- Stronger cleaning power for ingrained dirt and oils.
- Maintains the leather’s natural matte finish.
- Often paired with a leather conditioner for long-term protection.
Where Complete Cabin Cleaner Fits In
Complete Cabin Cleaner is pH balanced, safe for finished leather, and delivers streak-free results without altering the leather’s intended look. While it won’t replace a full leather restoration process, it’s excellent for regular cleaning and maintenance.
Key Takeaway
Chemical Guys is fine for quick leather cleaning, but for deeper cleaning or long-term care, a dedicated leather cleaner or a well-balanced multi-surface cleaner like Complete Cabin Cleaner is the better option.
