Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB
Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard is a high-performance protective coating designed to shield automotive leather from everyday wear, dye transfer, UV damage, and contamination. It leaves behind a durable, natural matte finish while helping preserve the original look and feel of your interior.
Why Use Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard?
- Durable Abrasion Protection: Forms a tough, matte protective layer that helps guard against friction damage on high-wear areas like seat bolsters and piping.
- UV & Discolouration Defence: Protects leather from sun exposure, dye transfer, and staining, especially important for light-coloured interiors.
- BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology: Treated surfaces help eliminate 99.9% of bacteria for a cleaner, more hygienic interior.
- Anti-Stain Barrier: Helps prevent staining from dark fabrics such as denim and everyday clothing.
- Long-Lasting Durability: Provides protection for 3–12 months depending on wear levels and usage.
Myth Buster
Many leather care products claim to “feed” leather, but modern automotive leather already contains synthetic fat liquors that do not evaporate. Products designed to feed leather cannot be absorbed and instead remain on the surface, attracting dirt and debris that can act as an abrasive and shorten the life of the leather finish.
Application Information
- Clean First: Thoroughly clean leather using Gtechniq I2 Tri-Clean and allow surfaces to dry completely.
- Prepare: Shake the bottle well and wear gloves before application.
- Apply: Using an AP3 Dual Layered Soft Foam Applicator, apply a thin, even layer in circular motions.
- Buff: Remove any excess product with an MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth.
- Layering for High-Wear Areas: For maximum protection on seat bolsters and high-contact zones, apply a second layer approximately one hour after the first.
