My cars with leather interior bits have lower grade leather with high levels of protective coating so I don`t think it would really matter whether I used a leather product or a generic interior protectant/coating. However, the steering wheel, shift knob, and hand brake handle in my daily are a softer, more porous grade of leather. When properly cleaned they are rather grippy which is nice when doing performance driving events. I don`t have to wear gloves. Do the leather coatings change the feel?
I have some DP VLP interior coating which I was given to test out and like better each time I try it. I`ve only used it on the vinyl and plastic bits so far and it doesn`t seem to change them any, but those surfaces are mostly textured. I wasn`t sure what would happen on smooth leather.
