RE: {Chrysler 300} Gary Goers Leathers



I’ve used the Prestine Clean product.  Come to think of it, that may have been the product that removed some dye, not the rejuvenator.  It does in fact clean as advertised.

I haven’t had any issues with the Leatherique Rejuvenator removing the finish on our F’s upholstery. They also make a cleaning product called “Prestine” that you’re supposed to use AFTER the Rejuvenator that I haven’t tried.

Is 303 leather cleaner and conditioner the best for cleaning and conditioning my older Gary Goers surface-dyed 300C leather seats?

I, too, have a decades old Goer's interior in my G convertible, and it is still looking good, especially since being a convertible with the top down most of the time during car show season, it's been in lots of sun and UV exposure.  

I used Leatherique on some of my old Jensen Interceptor interiors back in the day, but I have not tried it on the Goer's seat covers as I'm a bit afraid of possibly removing the dye.  Surface dyed leathers might not tolerate it as well as 'fully' dyed leathers (like the Jensen had).  I've used a variety of leather moisturizers, cleaners, and conditioners over the years.  

Now that I'm in Texas with even more intense sun, I have also used a UV protectant called Formula 303 on my vinyl surfaces like my original dash pad, arm rests, convertible top boot, etc.

I have still have some Leatherique Oil that I’ve used on the F and our K and other leather interiors over the years in our cars (the big bottle I have is about 30 years old.)

 

George Cone told me about this product when I went to his house in Wisconsin to buy a set of 15” G/H/J wheel covers in the fall of 1976 and he said he used it to rejuvenate the interior of his H convertible. At that point , I don’t believe Gary was doing interiors so there was no option beyond using the “Leatherique Process”. 

 

When I bought the bottle that I still use (1991 or so), I called the company to not only order it but to ask what was so special about it since it was way more $$ than Lexol, Neatsfoot, etc. 

 

They told me that they take fresh cowhides and literally squeeze them with a powerful industrial Vice-like machine to extract all of the essential native oils out of them for the rejuvenator oil. 

 

Since that seemed to be as good as anyone could want, I was sold….

Leatherique...the stuff I was using was not an oil, but more of a protein/ collagen product...Best stuff around...I think it's still available

I also have a Gary goers for my 1961 300g I bought them about 10 years ago and they are doing fine. 

 

 I would like to know what the best oils are for keeping the leathers in great shape. I have been using lexoil which we used to use for our horse saddles and bridals it seems to be working good. Please let me know what everyone is using and they end use results

Thanks

Hi Folks

Just a quick editorial: our F has one of Gary’s interiors that my friend and member Lou Amsler installed around 1982 or 1983.

I don’t think it was kept oiled in all the years between when I sold it and when I bought it back (2003 and 2021) but it is still in amazing shape (I have been oiling it a lot since I got it back.)

I had an H in 1976 and at that point (it was only 14 years old) the leather was having serious issues so I don’t know what alchemy Gary used buy clearly it worked!
