Information from Lexol about coated and uncoated leather care?
Since it seemed like Lexol might have some idea on how to use their products, I asked them about it.
Since my vinyl protectants, (303 & NL), don't have a leather scent, I guess I will have to stop by a tack shop and get a piece of leather to put under the seat.
I've never used air fresheners, but do they make them with a leather scent? If they do, is that scent as overpowering as the other so called freshener scents?
I always thought you were just trading one odor for another.
And yes, Steve, I realize I could just buy some Leather Stuff. I already have quarts of 303 and NL and really don't need any more conditioners right now.

So their you have it. If you choose to believe that Lexol's many years of experience have some value, it would seem that a product that is intended to be used on vinyl as well as leather would be a better choice. Since they have both, they aren't likely to be pushing one product over the other and probably feel the vinyl products are the way to go.

And it comes in a quart size, too. :bow
Then I could have enough for 10 years rather than just the 8, I'm now stocked up for.

Great!

Re: Information from Lexol about coated and uncoated leather care?
This is kind of beating a dead horse, but I have answered my question about at least one brand of air fresheners.
The "Little Trees' brand sells one they label as having a leather scent.
It doesn't smell like any leather I have smelled. In fact, the smell that came to mind was the old plug type chewing tobacco. It was baaaad. And I mean that in a bad way.
After having it out of the wrapper over night to make sure the odor wasn't just highly concentrated from being sealed up in a package, I gave up and threw the 3 little trees in the trash. I wouldn't recommend them.
If I try anymore leather scent devices, I think I will make my own. I'm seriously considering putting some 4 Star Ultimate Leather Conditioner on a cloth and then putting that cloth under the seat. Of course that will become such a nuisance that I won't do it regularly, so maybe I will just forget the whole idea. :wall

Charles with those little trees try cutting just a corner or 2 off of the bag with the tree still inside that will greatly decrease the smell and it will make it last much longer. And it might even make it smell like leather lol
:thanks
I did just expose a small portion for a while as per the instructions.
You are definitely right about it decreasing the smell. :bigups
It sure didn't make it smell anything like leather, though.
I think I have had my fling with "air fresheners". :surrender
The trash can seemed to work the best for me. I even made sure to throw them in a trash can other than mine.

How do you tell the difference between coated and non-coated? I have a 2000 DeVille with light tan seats.

Re: Coated and uncoated leather care??
As I recall, the test is to put a drop of water on the seat. If it darkens it is non-coated. If it does not, it is coated. You cannot see the grain in coated leather and it has a very uniform appearance.

What are the chances that any of us are going to run into uncoated leather used in auto upholstery? I can't recall ever seeing any uncoated leather in a car in the past 15 years, except perhaps a little suede used for contrast in a trim application.
