Why does leather need regular care?
Leather is subjected to everyday wear and tear through skin contact, sweat, clothing, friction, heat, and sun exposure. With age, it can lose its nourishing properties, become drier, and lose elasticity.
At the same time, UV radiation can impair the leather's color and accelerate the natural aging process. Car seats, convertible interiors, leather furniture near windows, and other leather surfaces regularly exposed to the sun are particularly affected.
The VILOU Leather Protector This is a nourishing and protective treatment for pigmented smooth leather. UV filters counteract premature fading. Conditioning ingredients help maintain a supple surface, while antioxidants slow down age-related changes in the material.
New leather surfaces primarily need protection from abrasion and color transfer. As the leather ages, regular, sparing care becomes important to keep it supple and durable.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Leather Protector
Does the Leather Protector offer complete protection against UV radiation?
The UV filters in the product reduce light-induced damage and prevent premature fading. However, no hair care product can guarantee complete protection against intense or prolonged sun exposure.
Can I use the protector on car leather?
Yes. It is particularly suitable for pigmented car seats, leather steering wheels, armrests, door panels and other smooth leather surfaces in the vehicle interior.
Is the leather protector suitable for all colors?
The protector is colorless and can be used on various leather colors. Due to material-related differences, a preliminary test on an inconspicuous area is always necessary.
Does the protector change the gloss level?
A thin and even application should largely preserve the existing leather look. Applying too much can affect the feel or appearance and should be avoided.
How often should I apply leather care products?
For heavily used car leather or areas exposed to high levels of sunlight, a check approximately every three months is recommended. For surfaces subject to normal wear and tear, longer maintenance intervals may be sufficient.
Can I combine protector and sealant?
Yes. The sealant protects against abrasion and color transfer, while the protector provides care and UV protection. For combined application, the sealant is applied first, and after it has completely dried, the protector is applied sparingly.
