SONAX Premium Class Leather Cleaner 250ml — Foaming Cleaner for Smooth & Perforated Leather, Removes Dye Transfer

SONAX Premium Class Leather Cleaner is a fast-acting foaming cleaner formulated to lift grease, dye transfer and everyday grime from smooth and perforated leather without drying or discoloring the material.

Designed for automotive and upholstery leather, this concentrated 250ml formula disperses as a rich foam for controlled application and thorough cleaning. It targets common contaminants — including blue jean dye, oils and surface buildup — while preserving the leather’s texture and flexibility. The product is optimized for use before conditioning, making it a practical step in routine leather maintenance and restoration.

How does the foaming action make cleaning easier?

The foam formulation expands on contact, helping the active detergents reach creases and perforations without soaking the leather. That means less liquid absorption into seams and faster working time. It lifts soils to the surface for quick removal with a microfiber cloth or soft brush.

• Produces stable foam for targeted, mess-free application
• Reduces over-wetting of leather and inner padding
• Works well on perforated seats where liquids can otherwise pool

Will it remove tough stains like blue jean transfer or grease?

Yes — the cleaner is formulated to tackle pigment transfer from denim, body oils and light grease without bleaching or softening the leather. Stubborn marks often lift with a short dwell time and gentle agitation, then wipe away to reveal a more uniform surface. Always test an inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility.

• Breaks down dye transfer and common automotive stains
• Safe for most smooth leather finishes when used as directed
• Effective when combined with a soft Sonax brush and microfiber cloth

Can I use this on all leather types and heated seats?

SONAX Premium Class Leather Cleaner is suitable for smooth and perforated leather, including heated seats, but it must not be used on aniline, nubuck, suede, or velour. Those delicate leathers require specialized products to protect their open-pore structure. For heated surfaces, ensure the seat is cool before cleaning for best results.

• Approved for smooth and perforated leather, including heated seats
• Not intended for aniline, nubuck, suede, or velour materials
• Recommended to work with Sonax microfiber cloths and textile/leather brushes

How should I apply it for the best outcome?

Spray or dispense the foam onto the leather, allow a brief dwell time, gently agitate with a soft brush for textured areas, then remove residue with a damp microfiber cloth. Finish by drying with a clean, dry microfiber and follow up with a leather conditioner for long-term protection. This routine minimizes staining and keeps leather supple.

• Dispense foam sparingly to targeted zones
• Agitate with a soft Sonax brush for perforations and seams
• Wipe with a damp microfiber, then dry and condition

Who is this for? This cleaner is aimed at car owners, detailers, and upholstery refurbishers who need a reliable, concentrated product to remove surface grime and dye transfer from smooth leather without compromising finish or flexibility. It’s ideal as the cleaning step before applying SONAX Premium Class Leather Care Cream, and for anyone seeking a controlled foaming cleaner that performs on perforated seats and high-contact areas. Avoid use on open-pore or suede-like leathers and always patch-test unfamiliar surfaces first.
