And also what about using tge 303 protectant? Which one leaves a nice dark look?

In 1997 I attended a leather workshop at that year`s national Rolls-Royce meet and was told by the guy conducting the workshop, who does six figure restorations, to NEVER use Lexol because it contains silicone. He even had a sign in his stop saying any employee who brought a silicone product into his shop would be fired. He now owns a Bentley dealership and still observes the same rule.

I have learned my lesson with such products and want nothing to do with them.

I forgot to mention, I have been assured 303 does not contain silicone. I know it is good at providing UV protection.

I`ve been using the lexus "brand" leather cleaner and then dressing my leather with OPP/Optimum leather protectant.

I have dark black coated leather and it looks great!

I really like the Pinnacle leather cleaner/conditioner. I imagine they perform similarly since they`re both PBMA products.

Wow, this guy is a genius. Does he know that the coating applied to the leather has silicone in it?
