Full Description

HIDE leather cream feeds the leather to enhance the appearance, suppleness and longevity. HIDE moisturises your leather.

Car-Chem HIDE Leather Cream is a conditioning cream for leather interiors. Car-Chem says it feeds the leather to enhance its appearance, suppleness and longevity, moisturises it, and also cleans away grease and grime, leaving a deep, rich, satin finish. We see it as the conditioning step after a thorough vacuum and, on heavily soiled seats, a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply it sparingly with a microfibre applicator, never scrub it in, wipe away the excess and add a second coat where the leather needs it. It suits owners looking after daily driven leather seats as well as older interiors. Pair it with a soft interior brush, clean microfibre cloths and an applicator kept for leather only.

  • Leather seats
  • Seat bolsters
  • Leather armrests
  • Leather door card inserts

How To Use

Application

  1. Vacuum the seats and clean heavily soiled leather with a dedicated leather cleaner first.
  2. Test the cream on a small hidden area and let it dry before full use.
  3. Apply a small amount of HIDE sparingly to a microfibre applicator.
  4. Work it gently over the leather one section at a time without scrubbing it in.
  5. Wipe away any excess with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
  6. Apply a second coat if the leather needs it.

Aftercare

  1. Give treated leather time to dry before using the seats.
  2. Buff high-touch areas such as steering wheels and gear knobs completely dry.
  3. Wash used applicators and cloths separately from paintwork towels.
  4. Keep the container closed and store it away from heat and frost.
  5. Repeat as part of your regular interior care routine.

Top Tip: Use a thin, even layer and wipe off the excess, as heavy application only leaves more to remove.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does HIDE Leather Cream do?

Car-Chem HIDE Leather Cream feeds and moisturises leather to enhance its appearance, suppleness and longevity. Car-Chem adds that it also cleans the leather, removing grease and grime.

What finish does it leave?

HIDE leaves a deep, rich, satin finish on leather, according to Car-Chem.

How do I apply it?

Apply HIDE sparingly with a microfibre applicator, without scrubbing it into the leather. Wipe away any excess and apply a second coat if necessary.

Do I need to clean the leather first?

Yes, cleaning first is good practice, although Car-Chem says HIDE also removes grease and grime. Vacuuming and using a dedicated leather cleaner on heavy soiling lets the cream work on a clean surface.

Can I use it on Alcantara or suede?

No, Car-Chem describes HIDE for leather interiors, and suede, nubuck and Alcantara need products made for those materials. Keep the cream to smooth, finished leather.

Can I use it on a leather steering wheel?

Yes, a leather steering wheel is part of the leather interior Car-Chem makes HIDE for, but apply it sparingly and buff it fully. Any film left on a steering wheel or gear knob can reduce grip.

How often should I use it?

Use it whenever the leather looks or feels dry, as part of a regular interior routine. Car-Chem does not publish a set interval, so let the condition of the leather guide you.

Where can I buy Car-Chem HIDE Leather Cream?

You can order Car-Chem HIDE Leather Cream from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery, or visit our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Vacuum seams and creases before applying any leather cream.
  2. Use a soft interior brush to lift dirt from the grain first.
  3. Put the cream on the applicator, not straight onto the leather.
  4. Work gently and never scrub the cream into the leather.
  5. Treat one seat panel at a time for even coverage.
  6. Keep perforated leather light, so cream does not fill the holes.
  7. Buff steering wheels and gear knobs fully to keep a secure grip.
  8. Available with UK-wide delivery or from our Ilkeston, Derbyshire walk-in store.

The Brand

Car-Chem

It says its products are sold to professionals and consumers in over 40 countries. In 2024 it was acquired by Leading Solvent Supplies, a UK chemical group, keeping its own brand identity and team, and it still manufactures, fills and labels its own products in-house.

Shop all Car-Chem
Car Chem 1900:1 Shampoo (500ml and 5L) - The Drivers HQ

Car-Chem wash, wheels and preparation

Pre-wash. Pre Soak+ Snow Foam is a highly foaming, biodegradable pre-wash that gives a rich, stable foam at a very high dilution and lifts dirt and grime without stripping sealant or wax. Total Clean Traffic Film Remover is the stronger road film cleaner for traffic film, dead bugs and bird droppings on paint, wheels, glass and trim, diluted from 10:1 to 100:1 depending on the job.

Shampoo. 1900:1 Shampoo takes its name from its dilution ratio. Car-Chem calls it an award-winning formula that cuts through dirt, grime and road film while keeping waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings intact, with lubricants and long-lasting suds that help keep marring down.

Wheels and all-purpose. Clean Wheels is an acid-based spray cleaner for most alloy, chrome, painted and plastic-trimmed wheels, used neat on heavy soiling or diluted 3:1, then brushed and rinsed. Citrus Clean is an all purpose cleaner for almost anything inside and outside the car, from carpet stains to wheel arches.

Before protection. Prep Panel Wipe removes oils and silicones to leave a streak-free surface ready for last stage protection.

CARCHEM SAPPHIRE CERAMIC WAX - The Drivers HQ

Car-Chem waxes, detailers, glass and interior

Waxes. Sapphire Ceramic Wax is a 100g SiO2 based ceramic wax from Car-Chem's in-house technical team, blending SiO2 with carnauba, montan and bees waxes and natural fruit oils, for protection and water beading with a traditional hand application; avoid driving for 24 hours after. Connoisseur Carnauba Wax protects against contamination while adding to the paint's natural gloss, goes on wheels too, and hazes in 5 to 10 minutes before buffing.

Between washes. Hydro Quick Detailer adds gloss and a microscopically thin hydrophobic sealant layer through polymer technology, and also works as a spray sealant straight after washing.

Glass. Pre Icer is a glass coating that goes on a dry windscreen before a frost and stays on, to stop ice settling. Screen Wash Water Resistant is a concentrated screen wash additive, used at 10:1, that leaves a hydrophobic barrier so rain beads and runs off.

Interior. Interior Clean Coat cleans and dresses in one pass with an applemint scent and a satin finish. HIDE Leather Cream feeds and moisturises leather for a deep, rich satin finish, and Refresh targets the bacteria behind bad smells and leaves a fragrance that lasts for weeks.
