I have just purchased a new 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. The seats are all-leather. I am wondering if I should do anything on the inside right now:

(1) Should I treat the leather now, or do nothing for a while? (Note: I normally use Zaino leather cleaner and Zaino leather treatment).
(2) Should I treat the vinyl now with 303 Aerospace Protectant for UV protection, or wait on that for a while also?
(3) Is the 303 the right product for both the "hard" vinyl on the dash and the "soft" vinyl on the doors?

It would seem to me that I should let the leather wait, but give the vinyl a 303 treatment now for protection.........but I am looking for some expert guidance before I do anything.

Thanks!
Mike
