Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB Overview
Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB forms a durable, abrasion-resistant matte finish that offers outstanding protection against abrasion damage, UV rays, dye transfer, and other forms of discolouration.
With added BioCote® antimicrobial technology, surfaces treated with Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB will kill 99.9% of bacteria, helping to maintain a cleaner and more hygienic interior.
Friction protection is particularly important on seat bolsters, seat piping, steering wheels, and other high-wear leather areas. The anti-stain function is especially beneficial for light-coloured leathers, which are commonly stained by dark fabrics such as indigo jeans.
Unlike many leather products that claim to “feed” leather, Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB is designed specifically for modern automotive leather. Modern leathers use synthetic fat liquors that do not evaporate, meaning feeding products are not absorbed and instead attract dirt, which accelerates wear. Gtechniq L1 provides protection without this risk, offering durability of between 3 and 12 months depending on wear levels.

Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB Myth Buster
Many leather products claim to feed leather, but this is unnecessary for modern automotive leather. Today’s leathers use synthetic fat liquors that do not evaporate.
Products designed to feed leather cannot be absorbed and instead sit on the surface, attracting dirt that acts as an abrasive and shortens the leather’s lifespan. Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard AB avoids this issue by protecting without feeding, preserving the leather’s original finish.
