    What`s everyone using for leather protection

    Just curious what everyone is using for general leather protection after cleaning. Not looking for anything shiny or greasy looking

    I just stick with my goto DP interior surface protectant. Haven`t tried much else.

    AMMO`s Mousse
    I like it
    I definitely noticed a difference once using it
    Im thinking of trying all AMMO`s stuff in due time

    Their interior cleaner is what used prior to Mousse application
    I like that too
    Cleans well and best of all smells great
    No certain scent, it just smells... clean
    same goes with mousse
    overall I would recommend AMMO`s Interior Regimen as its called

    I have been using the Meguiar`s Leather Sealer System. It`s worked out great for me. Once in awhile I will use the Wolfgang Leather Conditioner that I won on a past giveaway here.

    My regular product is Meg`s QID. Then once a month or so I use Opti Leather Protectant / Protectant Plus (Gal size).



    I have also used Ultima Interior Guard Plus & Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant with great success. The Ultima is very matte & velvety in feel. The Wolfgang has a darker sheen to it but is just as nice. I actually prefer the Wolfgang on the plastics in my car.

    Re: What`s everyone using for leather protection

    You guys are wasting your money with leather conditioners. Auto leather is "finished" leather, meaning it has a vinyl coating. NOTHING penetrates it. Leather conditioners were `invented` for unfinished leather like horse saddles where the leather loses some of it`s natural oils, and the conditioner replaces it. (Lexol is one of the best I have found for my horse leather accessories) It is just the wax companies trying to increase profits by telling you auto leather needs conditioners. All it does in add a smell to you interior.

    303 Aerospace or Blackfire Interior Protectant. When I get an older car that the leather coating is getting worn, I tend to put some CG Leather Conditioner on those areas...usually it is the side bolsters from all the getting in and out.

    Re: What`s everyone using for leather protection

    Conditioners are not protectors.
    Anything containing oils and waxes should be avoided on coated leather as they do nothing but sit on the surface and attract more dirt. Anything containing oils and waxes is not a protector. Protectors are specifically formulated products that form a barrier on the leather that helps keep the leather clean (essentially the most important thing as dirt damages the pigments) and prolongs the life of the leather by guarding against wear. It also protects pale coloured leathers form dye transfer which is a major problem

    Check the ingredients, if there are any oils present it is a waste of time applying it, spend your money wisely!!
