Cleaning your car’s leather and fabric upholstery – how to keep the interior looking like new

Cleaning car leather upholstery – how to keep your car’s interior looking like new

Caring for your car is not just about the engine and the paintwork – cleaning the leather upholstery of your car is just as important. The leather collects dirt, grease and dust over time, which can make the surface dull and worn. With the right products and technology, you can make it last longer. Well cared for leather can last an incredibly long time!

Wagenpflege from German Tapir is based entirely on natural oils, waxes and esters. This is how leather was cared for 100 years ago or more. It was known then that natural materials should be treated with natural materials. Not only is it better for the material itself, but gentler on you and the environment. When working with Wagenpflege, you don’t need protective gloves, nor do you need to be bothered by smelly solvents and the harmful effects they have on your health.
