Leather Conditioner or 303 Protectant? - 2010 Mustang

Hi Guys,



First post here and looking for some input. I recently bought a 2010 Mustang along with a plethora of detailing supplies from our buddies at AutoGeek. I ended up getting both the 303 Aerospace Protectant and some Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. My seats are leather "trimmed" so most of it is probably vinyl. The part that is leather might be coated from the factory - I am not sure.



Would you recommend using Leather Conditioner or should I just 303 the whole seat? If the leather is coated it doesn't seem like conditioner would serve much of a purpose. If I use Leather Conditioner, can it go on Vinyl as well or will I need to make sure I only apply it to the trim? Thanks in advance,



Adam

I put it on with an applicator and buff of with a MF and never have a problem with it being slippery. Just make sure to buff off any excess 303.

Neither. Get some Leather Masters protection.

Even though it's a coated (finished) leather? I think my regular routine will be cleaning with a mild Woolite solution, and then protect with 303.

I've been doing this with my 2009 Audi since I picked it up in January.



I haven't even thought about "conditioning" it.
 
The MOST important thing is to clean it regularly. Apply 303 once or twice a year. Apply it wet, and then go back and buff the residue with a dry MF. It will be slightly slick, but not overly so.

What do you mean even though its coated leather. All you need to do with it is clean it with water based products and protect with water based products. Do not use Woolite. Do a search, theres a huge thread about cleaning and protecting leather.
 
I read most of the about. And I was like:wow: then I started getting side tracked and half skimming and ended up on pg. 6 going :think: There is a wealth of information in that thread, I'll just have to go back and read it when I have time.

Good luck.



The debate surrounding even basic leather care is mind boggling. :getdown

I've decided that the best solution is to have my leather seats reupholstered with cloth. That way I don't have to worry about what leather conditioner/cleaner/protector/moisturizer to use. :clap: :har:

I wouldn't say period.





Wipe your leather down with a damp terry cloth towel once a week and see how good the leather looks after a couple of months.

This is ambiguous enough to make me ask: Are you saying it will look good or horrible?
