Leather Clear by Doc Bailey's • 4-in-1 Silicone-Free Cleaner, Conditioner & Waterproofer, Safe on Any Color

Clean, condition, and waterproof any color leather, with no shine and no residue

Doc Bailey's Leather Clear cleans, conditions, and repels water in one easy step. It has no enemies. It is not silicone, so it works with everything, on any color of leather, and it leaves a smooth satin finish with no residue. The wax is invisible. You cannot even tell it is there, but it beads water right off and keeps dirt and dust out.

Clear is made for the no-shine leathers, the soft satin ones where you do not want some big goofy shine. Spray it on, wipe it down, and the leather looks like itself again, just protected.

Made for the leathers other products cannot touch

Leather Clear was built to fill the jobs a high-gloss conditioner cannot. Spray it on over everything at once, colored panels, accent stitching, and inlays included.

• Car interiors, car seats, and vinyl dashboards
• Multi-color and two-tone seats with accent stitching and colored inlays
• Fine leather furniture, sofas, and sectionals, including white, cream, tan, and beige
• Designer handbags, purses, wallets, belts, and shoes
• Exotic skins: ostrich, alligator, snake, lizard, stingray, and lambskin
• Indian veg-tan saddlebags and other water-sensitive leathers that stain the moment they get wet
• Outdoor leathers, high-traffic leathers, and motorcycle seats

Silicone-free, so it has no enemies

Most leather sprays lean on silicone, which turns sticky, attracts dust, and can darken or discolor the leather. Leather Clear does not. It is color-neutral, so it will not darken, lighten, or change the color of your leather on any color, from black through white, which makes it the one to trust on multicolor, exotic, and light-colored pieces alike.

Why stored leather gets moldy, and how to stop it

Mold does not grow on leather. It grows on what is fed to the leather. Traditional conditioners are built on animal body fats like mink oil, and animal fat goes rancid. Rancid fat is what mold and mildew feed on, which is why a bag or a jacket put away for the season comes out of the closet wearing a coat of white fuzz. Doc Bailey's conditions with lanolin from sheep's wool. Lanolin never goes rancid. There is nothing in it for mold to feed on, so Leather Clear lifts existing mold and that white haze off when you clean and does not put anything back that invites it to return.

That makes Clear the one for anything that sits: seasonal handbags, boots in the back of the closet, boat and marine leather, stored car interiors, and furniture in a humid house. Because it is color-neutral, you can clean mold off white, cream, and light leather without darkening it.

Removing white chalking from leather

White chalking works the same way. That dull white film that shows up on stored leather is the old conditioner breaking down on the surface. Spray Leather Clear on, scrub the chalking off, and condition with lanolin instead, and there is nothing left behind to chalk up again. Since Clear is color-neutral, you can clear the haze off white and light leather without darkening the piece.

Trusted on custom seats by Alligator Bob

Alligator Bob builds high-end custom motorcycle seats, the kind with leather tattooing, embroidery, and multiple colors. He sprays every seat he makes with Leather Clear, because it lays the conditioning down over all the colors and all the embroidery at once and leaves a dry protective wax on the surface, so the leather does not dry out or lose its color. When a man who tattoos leather for a living trusts it on his best work, that tells you what it does.

How it works: spray, wipe, done

Spray Leather Clear on over everything and scrub to clean, lifting the dirt out. Spray a little more, and the oil soaks in to nourish and condition while the wax flowers on the surface as a dry protective layer. We call it a flowering wax: the oil goes into the leather, the wax rises to the top to protect it. Then a quick buff with the rag closes the wax and sets the satin finish. Build it up with two or three coats, buffing between, for more protection. No white buildup, no sticky residue.

Spray it on a car seat and spilled coffee beads right off like a waxed paint job. Spray it on a vinyl dashboard, wipe it down, and two months later it looks just as good as the day you did it, because it is a dry wax, not a silicone that grabs every bit of dust.

It protects the stitching too

The invisible wax sits on the surface and takes the wear so the leather does not. Between the lanolin conditioning that keeps the leather supple and the protective wax that shields the thread from the elements, it protects the stitching against stitch-rot, the first place leather fails, and it blocks denim dye, hair oils, and makeup from ever reaching the skin of the leather. What lands on your seat lands on the wax, not the hide.

What comes in the kit

• All in the kit box

How to use it

Every time, Leather Clear does the same three things in one step: it cleans, conditions, and repels water.

1. Spray it on and scrub with the sponge to clean and lift the dirt out.
2. Spray a little more so the oil soaks in, then buff with the rag to close the wax and set the satin finish.
3. For high-wear pieces, build a second or third coat, buffing between.

A few times a year is plenty, with spot cleaning any time. It dries in about ten seconds with no sticky residue.

Frequently asked questions

Will Leather Clear darken or change the color of my leather?

No. Leather Clear is color-neutral. It will not darken, lighten, or alter the color, which makes it ideal for white, cream, tan, beige, or any leather you want to protect without changing how it looks.

How do I get mold or white fuzz off a leather bag or car seat?

Spray Leather Clear on and scrub with the sponge. It lifts the mold, mildew, and white haze off the surface while it cleans, then conditions the leather and leaves a dry protective wax behind. Because it conditions with lanolin from sheep's wool, which never goes rancid, it does not leave the food source that let the mold grow in the first place. It is color-neutral, so it is safe on white, cream, and light-colored leather.

How do I remove white chalking from leather?

Spray Leather Clear on and scrub the chalky area with the sponge. The white film is old conditioner that has broken down on the surface, and Clear lifts it off while it cleans. It then conditions with lanolin, which does not break down that way, so the chalking does not come back. Safe on white and light leather because it will not darken the color.

How do I store leather so it does not come out moldy?

Clean and protect it with Leather Clear before you put it away. Mold and mildew feed on the animal fats in traditional conditioners once those fats go rancid, which is why a bag treated the old way often comes out of storage covered in white fuzz. Leather Clear conditions with lanolin, which never goes rancid, so there is nothing on the leather for mold to feed on while it sits.

Can I use Leather Clear on a white leather sofa?

Yes, it is one of the best uses for it. White leather scratches, yellows, and soaks up stains. Leather Clear cleans the surface, conditions the leather so it resists cracking, and lays down a waterproof wax against future stains, and it will not yellow or discolor the white.

Can I use Leather Clear on my car interior and dashboard?

Yes. It is one of the best places to use it. Spray it on seats, dashboards, and trim, wipe it down, and you get a dry wax that beads water and does not go sticky or attract dust the way silicone does.

Will Leather Clear make my leather shiny?

No. Clear dries to a soft satin finish with no goofy shine. If you want a high-gloss look on saddles, tack, or dress boots, that is what Leather Tonic is for.

Does Leather Clear really waterproof leather?

Yes. It repels water. Spill coffee or get caught in the rain and the water beads right off the invisible wax. A few coats a year keep the protection strong.

Is Leather Clear silicone-free?

Yes. No silicone, so it has no enemies and works on everything. That is why it will not get sticky, will not attract dust, and is safe on colors and delicate leather. Spot test a hidden area first on anything colored or delicate to confirm colorfastness.

Leather Clear or Leather Tonic, which do I need?

Leather Clear is used in place of silicone-based protectants, which destroy leather and leave a sticky, slimy, dirt-attracting mess. It leaves a dry satin finish for car interiors, fine furniture, handbags, and anything you do not want to shine, and two months later it still looks as good as the day you treated it. Leather Tonic is the original deep conditioner for saddles, tack, and boots, and it finishes to a high gloss, or a soft satin if you wipe it with the dry side of the sponge.
