I just took delivery of a 2009 TDI with "leatherette." My first thought was 303, as it is made for vinyl products. Any other suggestions?



Thanks.

Treat it as you would vinyl. I googled "leatherette" and it didn`t come up as any part of the cow. LOL

I have the same car (2009 jetta tdi, black on black) and I am using what many here seem to suggest, which is woolite (high efficiency) diluted 4:1. It seems to do a good job cleaning the dirt off, though I keep my car really clean.



I don`t use 303 because I fear it would rub off on my shirt and pants. 303 is pretty greasy. It does a great job, but I wouldn`t use it on something I was going to touch regularly.

I use woolite too, but at 8:1, if the car is new - then I`d just get either Megs Leather Cleaner/Conditioner fro their Detail Line or 1Z leatherpluffer (whatever they call it). Or...Lexols` Vinylex is good.

actually, i`d don`t know why i said 4:1. It was easily 8:1. maybe 16:1. I don`t remember exactly, but it wasn`t much. I particularly like that it doesn`t smell once it dries.

1Z Cockpit Premium FTW! Awesome stuff, matte finish and not slick either. it`s made for faux leather as it says on the bottle.

1Z Cockpit Premium - good stuff, but Megs ultiment interior QD is just as good, and you can get locally at a better price.
