I had the opportunity to try out these fantastic leather wipes by Armor All recently. The product turned out to be better than the sales man O’Reilly Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts in Helena told me. I needed to clean up some leather seats and a dashboard of an auto. There are numerous leather cleaners on the market. Leather cleaners come in gels, paste and hardened soap. I have tried various product lines in cleaning small surfaces. I needed a product that could handle large surfaces and a product that could revitalize leather.
First off if you are ever in Helena Montana I would highly recommend O’ Reilly Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts on North Montana Avenue. They have everything from screws to nuts. The store carries everything a car might need and some additional things to boot. The best part is that the store is “woman friendly.” The manager Pete was helpful and really nice. He put the nuts on my license plate screws while I shopped. While I was waiting for him I spoke with some of his salesmen. i needed a leather cleaner and conditioner. The salesman said he used the leather wipes by Maguire and by Armor All for his car seats and his saddles.
I bought the Armor All Wipes because they were on sale for $4.49. The container looks like any hand wipes container. The container has 20 individual wipes. The amazing thing is that one wipe will do the dash board, leather seats in the front and all of the panels. I could not believe the results. I utilized one wipe on all of the surfaces and the result was phenomenal. The product was not only as advertised, but better..
The only experience I had was using the Kiwi Leather Cleaner and the Armor All Gel. Both products are effective for the intended purpose, but both are not as convenient as the Armor All Leather Wipes. Kiwi bought the saddle soap franchise and now produces saddle soap cleaner. In addition they sell a new Kiwi Leather Wipe. The problem is the product does not recondition leather as effectively as Armor All products. . You get 15 wipes in the canister. I tried one and was not impressed. I would suggest you compare both of the products and you will see the difference.
The Armor All Leather Wipes are more convenient and cost effective. The best part is that the Armor All products are designed for auto use. They clean a wider area and they do in fact recondition, clean and restore leather products. The Armor All products are in fact cheaper than most products on the market.
Main Selling Points of Armor All Product vs Competitors:

3. Armor All Leather Wipes provide convenience in a canister that is ready for quick clean ups.

5. The price is reasonable. Overall you will find that the Armor All Leather wipes cost about 22 cents per application and other products cost in the range of 33 cents per application. Additionally, the other products may require an additional application cloth.
Steps to Use:
1. Clean the surface off with a dry cloth. Thus removing the surface dust.
2. Remove any crumbs or other objects from the surface.
3. Remove one wipe and immediately seal the container. This will keep the other wipes fresh.
4. Use both sides of the wipe.
5. Apply the wipes and then sit back and watch the amazing results.
This product comparison is unbiased and I welcome your comments. The wipes by Armor All can be used on any leather surface and afford economy and great results. I recommend the Armor All products because they are more widely available in auto care shops. The Kiwi brand and other applications simply do not measure up. There is a necessity for a cloth and the convenience of the wipes is unmistakable. I liked the Kiwi brand until I tried the easy Armor All Leather Wipes. The container easily fits in the glove box ready for any quick touch ups. No mess and no fuss.
