Ceramic Coating for Leather
So every vehicle with light colored leather seating I've ever had eventually became stained from denim. Now that I have the two-toned navy and white leather, I hope the navy on the edges where I get in and out of the car will hide most of it, but I've also heard of ceramic coating for leather, and that it helps with that.
Has anyone had experience with it? Yay or nay? Does it damage the leather? Backup plan: wear khakis from now on and forever

I haven't had any, sorry. I was thinking about trying the same thing. I wear jeans almost everyday and I always get denim transfer, it sucks. I will have ivory seats soon. I did read somewhere some uses this
https://www.detailersdomain.com/coll...and-protectant You can do some research and see if that works well? I was going to try it. I have used LEATHERIQUE in the past and it does clean well. |

pro tip: don't slide over the side bolsters getting in / out of your car and this will never be an issue

Personally I would not recommend any ceramic coating on the Merino leathers. The best way I have taken care of BMW Merino leather over the years is with Leatherique Rejuvenator (once a year) and Leatherique Pristine clean (every month). This is my regime and the leather in my cars look brand new even after 3 years. Leatherique is safe on BMW Merino, Aston leather and also the Rolls.
Here is a post I had on this topic. https://www.7post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=22959753 Before and after on my G12 seats. https://www.7post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=23301916 |

Cleaned up the denim color transfer without an issue. Used to have an opal white 7 , platinum 7 and platinum M3 over the years so really not an issue with White leather. I apply the rejuvenate liberally with a paint brush, did not have an issue with it on ventilated seats yet. There is a piece of fabric between the leather and the fans that are blowing, so you will not be getting this onto the ventilation fans.
Another for denim cleaner I recommend is Leather Master. Keep a strong and light cleaner. Use it for spot cleaning. If leather is cared for properly it will last for a long time. |

As a note, I applied the Leather Lock Pro from Dr. Beasleys this weekend to my drivers seat as a test. No change in leather feel,texture, or color. It went on super easily and had absolutely no scent. So not sure how well it will work, but wanted to post this to minimize concern on how it affects the feel of the leather.
