Nappa Auto Leather Gel Degreaser 7.5

Target and Extract Sebum Without Dripping

The Power of Gel.

Leather Doctor® Nappa Auto Leather Gel Degreaser 7.5 is a professional-grade automotive leather degreaser designed to target and extract accumulated sebum, body oil, sweat, grease, and oily leather-care residue from high-contact areas.

Its controlled gel texture keeps the cleaning action localized, making it especially useful for Nappa-style and other finished automotive leather where repeated contact can leave the surface dark, greasy, sticky, or artificially shiny.

The goal is simple:

Target the contamination.
Emulsify the oily residue.
Extract it from the surface.
Rinse clean.

Designed for High-Contact Automotive Leather

Automotive leather can gradually accumulate body oils and product residue in the areas that receive the most contact.

Degreaser 7.5 is particularly suited for:

Headrests and seat backs
Seat bolsters
Center armrests
Door armrests and panels
Steering wheels
Gear selectors and controls
Other areas that have become dark, greasy, sticky, or unusually shiny

It is designed for finished automotive leather, including many premium Nappa-, Merino-, and Windsor-style automotive leather interiors.

Always test first in an inconspicuous area, as automotive leather finishes vary by manufacturer, age, construction, and condition.

Why Degreaser 7.5?

Mildly Alkaline pH 7.5:
The controlled pH 7.5 formulation provides additional degreasing power for oily contamination while avoiding the need for aggressive solvent-based chemistry.

Sebum & Body-Oil Extraction:
Targets accumulated residues transferred from skin, hair, hands, and repeated contact.

Gel-Controlled Application:
The gel texture provides greater control than a free-flowing liquid, helping keep the product where it is applied rather than allowing it to quickly spread into perforations, seams, or adjacent areas.

Helps Restore a Clean Matte Appearance:
When shine is caused by accumulated oil, grease, or product residue, removing the contamination can help reveal the leather's original clean appearance.
Degreaser 7.5 does not restore permanent finish wear, polishing, abrasion, or other physical changes to the leather surface.

Mild Sugar-Derived Surfactants:
The formulation utilizes a synergized two plant-based surfactant to help loosen, emulsify, and remove oily contamination.

Aerosol-Free
A controlled liquid-gel formulation designed for precise application during professional or careful automotive detailing.

Why Gel Instead of a Conventional Liquid Degreaser?

Targeted Cleaning. Better Control.

A conventional liquid cleaner can spread rapidly across a smooth leather surface.
Degreaser 7.5 is formulated as a controlled gel so that a small amount can be placed directly onto the working tool and concentrated where contamination is present.
This makes it particularly useful around:

Perforated leather
Ventilated seats
Stitching
Seams
Headrests
Armrests
Seat bolsters
Steering wheels

Do not flood the leather.

The objective is to apply only enough product to loosen and emulsify the contamination, then extract it with a clean towel.

What Does Degreaser 7.5 Target?

Degreaser 7.5 is designed for localized removal of:

Sebum
Body oil
Sweat residue
Greasy fingerprints
Hair and scalp oils
Sunscreen and cosmetic residue
Leather-care product buildup
Balm and wax residue
Oily surface contamination
Darkened high-contact areas
Sticky or greasy surface films

Degrease → Rinse → Dry → Inspect

For a complete cleaning module, pair Nappa Auto Leather Gel Degreaser 7.5 with Nappa Auto Leather Soft Rinse 5.0.

Step 1 — Degreaser 7.5

Target & Extract
Degreaser 7.5 targets accumulated sebum, body oil, grease, sweat, and oily residue.
The gel provides controlled application while the surfactant system helps loosen and emulsify the contamination for extraction.

Step 2 — Soft Rinse 5.0

Remove Cleaning Residue
Nappa Auto Leather Soft Rinse 5.0 is used after the degreasing step to help remove remaining cleaning residue from the treated surface.
It completes the cleaning module and prepares the leather for drying, inspection, and any subsequent conditioning required by its actual condition.

Where Does Degreaser 7.5 Fit?

Degreaser 7.5 is a targeted contamination-removal product, not a complete leather restoration system.
If the leather is only contaminated, the cleaning module may be all that is required.
If the leather is also dry, stiff, worn, abraded, faded, cracked, or otherwise deteriorated, additional treatment may be required after cleaning.

The correct sequence is:
