Pigmented (non-porous) leather commonly found in cars, furniture and other leather items has a coloured protective finish. Modern leather finishes are high-tech - they are elastic, wear-resistant and, very importantly, air and water vapour permeable. Most high-quality vinyl or PU leather imitations are also coated with protective finishes. These finishes are protected with a clear coating called a ‘topcoat’ which carries waxes and additives that give the surface a soft touch, and prevent scratches, wear, creaking and squeaking. The elastic finish must be protected for the surface to retain its new look,
and soft touch and stay squeak free. Why 3 Minus? New leather has an optimum balance of moisture and oil. Protecting the topcoat is therefore the priority. During this time, applying a leather conditioner shows little or no benefit. For the 3 first years: use Geist. Dye & Friction Blocker to protect against dye transfer and friction damage after cleaning.\
Clean & Protect from Dye Transfer & Abrasion Damage
STEP 1: Rapid Cleaner
Spray the product onto a cloth or brush and wipe the surface allowing it to lift the soiling for 2-3 minutes. Wipe off with a lint-free cloth.
STEP 2: Dye & Friction Blocker
Spray on a soft cloth and apply evenly on the surface. Allow to dry. For maximum protection, apply after every cleaning or once every 3 months.

Common Leather Damage Causes
What Damages Leather Finish or Vinyl?
- Friction damage from sharp zippers, studs, rings, and belt buckles
- Dye transfer from clothing, especially jeans and dark fabrics
- Body oils and sweat that penetrate protective coatings
- Sand and dust particles causing micro-abrasions
- Harsh chemicals found in common household cleaners with high pH or solvents
Why Age Matters - 3 Minus vs 3 Plus
Understanding the 3-Year Rule
Modern automotive leather maintains optimal moisture and oil balance for approximately 3 years. During this period:
- Conditioning is unnecessary and may actually harm the protective topcoat
- Protection is the priority - maintaining the factory finish and preventing damage
- 3 Minus Kit provides exactly what new leather needs: cleaning and protection
After 3 years, leather begins losing moisture and requires the 3 Plus Kit with conditioning.
What is it for?
- Suitable for leather, vinyl, artificial leather, vegan leather, fake/faux leather or pleather. Works for all leather colours. Not suitable for absorbent leather like aniline, suede or nubuck.
- Clean with Rapid Cleaner.
- Protect with Dye & Friction Blocker
