CARPRO Cleanse — Foaming Leather Cleaner

CARPRO Cleanse — Professional Foaming Leather Cleaner

CARPRO Cleanse is a specialized, pH-neutral foaming leather cleaner specifically designed to safely emulsify stubborn body oils, perspiration, denim transfer, and accumulated grime from automotive and marine leather upholstery. Unlike harsh alkaline cleaners or aggressive solvent blends that dry out hides, degrade protective clear polyurethane topcoats, and cause premature cracking, Cleanse employs an advanced surfactant chemistry that suspends dirt safely inside dense, low-moisture foam.

Key Advantages & Chemistry

• Low-Moisture Foam Action: Dispenses as rich foam, preventing liquid saturation into perforations, seams, and seat cooling foam modules.
• OEM Finish Retention: Leaves zero sticky residues or artificial gloss; restores original factory velvety matte texture and tactile grip.
• Anti-Browning & Topcoat Safe: Will not degrade factory cross-linked acrylic/polyurethane topcoats or dry out structural natural collagen fibres.
• Optimal Surface Preparation: Perfectly preps leather for nourishing treatments like CARPRO Lotion or long-term ceramic protection with CARPRO CQUARTZ Leather 2.0.

Step-by-Step Professional Application Protocol

1. Vacuum the seats and seams thoroughly to eliminate abrasive particulate dirt and dust.
2. Dispense 1–2 pumps of Cleanse foam directly onto a soft natural horsehair brush (such as CARPRO LeatherBrush) or CARPRO InnerScrub glove.
3. Work gently over a 40 × 40 cm leather section in circular, overlapping strokes without applying aggressive downward pressure. Let the micro-foam lift trapped dirt from hide pores.
4. Before the foam dries, wipe away suspended grime and emulsified oils with a clean, slightly damp CARPRO Terry Weave or 2Face microfiber towel.
5. Wipe again with a dry microfiber cloth and inspect. Repeat on heavily soiled areas if necessary.
6. Allow the leather to dry completely (10–15 minutes) before applying CARPRO Lotion conditioner or CARPRO CQUARTZ Leather coating.

Pro-Tips & Important Warnings

• Perforated Leather: Never spray liquid cleaners directly onto perforated seats. Always apply foam to your brush to prevent liquid pooling inside foam cushions.
• Aniline Leathers: For untreated or full-aniline naked leathers, perform a small spot-test in an inconspicuous area to verify water-absorption safety.
• Do Not Allow to Dry: Always wipe away suspended foam while still damp to prevent loosened dirt from re-depositing into hide crevices.

Volume Selection Guide

• 500 ml Bottle: Complete with foaming trigger sprayer, ideal for enthusiasts and maintaining 6–10 vehicles.
