I picked up a sample of Optimum Protectant Plus in trade and used it for the first time as a spot test. I may takes some pics next week with 303 and this side by side.
A few observations when I applied it:
Color: yellow tinted cream
Smell: leather like
Sheen: leaves a dressy matte look. It is not shiny like some dressings but you can tell there is a dressing especially on low gloss surfaces.
Applications: I did not have a spray applicator so I applied to a towel and spread. Since it is creamy (not as watery like 303), it spreads more like a leather conditioner than some protectants like 303. It seemed to require a little buffing to even it out.
The product is apparently for leather and vinyl.
Next day:
I drove to work and it was outside in the sun (had a shun shield) around 90+F. When I opened the door there was a strong leatherish odor (not like what I normally smell with my leather seats using 4* Leather conditioner). It dissipated quickly with the windows down but it was strong. I thought something was rotten for an instant.
I will see tomorrow what happens after being in the sun. I prefer the delicate 4* leather conditioner smell.
I am not a fan of shiny interior dressing (like natural using Megs QID or 1z) in part since the dash reflects on the windshield a lot and any dressing makes it worse(303, Mothers).
Verdict: Need to do a larger section of the dash to see if I like the dressed look it gives. The odor may be an issue for me. Any one experience the odor in a hot closed up vehicle after 9 hrs in the sun.
