When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s interior, most people think of vacuuming or the occasional conditioner wipe-down. But if your car has leather seats, there's a better way to keep them looking newer, longer, and that’s with a leather ceramic coating.
💡 What Is a Leather Coating?
A leather coating is a specially formulated ceramic-based product designed to bond to leather surfaces and create a durable, invisible barrier. Unlike conditioners or protectants that sit on the surface and wear off quickly, a ceramic coating chemically bonds to the leather to provide long-term protection without changing the texture or feel.
Think of it like a shield — protecting your leather from the damage you don’t see happening every day.
🛡️ What Does It Protect Against?
UV Damage & Fading – Blocks harmful rays that cause drying and cracking
Stains & Spills – Helps repel liquids, making cleanup easier
Dye Transfer – Reduces staining from jeans, clothes, or bags
Wear & Tear – Adds durability to high-use areas like bolsters and armrests
✅ Why You Should Consider It
If you just bought a new vehicle, or had your leather deep-cleaned as part of a detail, adding a leather coating is a great way to lock in that fresh, factory-clean look. It makes maintenance easier, improves long-term resale value, and protects against daily wear.
Plus, it’s safe on all types of automotive leather — coated, perforated, or textured.
🧼 How It’s Applied
At Tyler’s Mobile Detailing, leather coatings are offered as a premium interior add-on. We first deep clean your seats and leather surfaces to remove oils, dirt, and buildup. Then we apply the coating by hand to ensure even coverage. After curing, the surface is fully protected for up to 12–18 months.
📍 Final Thoughts
If you’re someone who wants your vehicle to stay clean, comfortable, and classy — a leather ceramic coating is an easy upgrade that delivers real value. It's especially smart for families, commuters, or anyone with light-colored interiors.
