I am very interested in this topic. Honestly, I hate leather seats. They just don`t remain "new " enough looking for my liking. They are hot and sticky in the summer and cold in the winter. I have used many traditional leather products on the black napa leather seats on my BMW much more frequently than recommended, and the drivers seat still shows signs of wear. I would much prefer a nice velour / leather mix like BMW`s "M cloth" they used on some European M cars:

My Nissan Pathfinder has 103k on the odometer. It has velour seating. Even the driver`s seat shows little if any signs of wear, even on the bolsters:

I`ve done some Internet research, and opinions on coated leather seem to be divided. At this point, I`m just cleaning and protecting them with CarPro Fabric and Leather, as that leaves a protective coating.
My question about the Leatherique system is:
1. It seems to clean very well, does it leave protection behind against UV (convertible) and the mechanical abrasion caused by sitting in the seats?
2. Can you use a "leather coating" like L1 or Fabric and Leather after the Leatherique process, or will you be "cleaning out" all the Leatherique that soaked in over your 12-24 hour dwell time.
I like that Todd gives specific strait forward factual and knowledgeable answers and doesn`t give an answer that is pretty much common sense. Thanks Todd!
