protecting pleather seats?

I've applied it in the 30's on some customer cars. I don't know how durable it will be, but the cars have looked spectacular.

Same here, but I prefer to use Meguiars Polymer #20 when it is under 40. Dries faster and is easier to remove, plus it last a bit longer. Dusts a bit, though, while #26 does not.
 
I agree, #20 Does dust a bit, but it's much easier to remove than 26. #20 is a good product. #20 Does have cleaning properties so it can't be used over a product like Klasse or Zaino.
 
In general with carnubas, the warmer it is the easier it is to apply and the longer it will last. When cold you will get much more residue while removing and less will stick to the car.
 
our audi has pleather seats and i was wondering what i could use to protect them? could i use OPT protectent or 303
 
IMO none of this stuff will actually help protect your pleather. Best thing you can do is keep it out of the Sun. If it must sit outdoors have the windows tinted :2 cents:

Can anyone explain how a protectant will actually block UV more than the glass in your car? The thing that kills your leather is friction, dirt and incorrect cleaning.

I cannot explain in scientific detail but much like sun screen for your car, there are chemicals that "block" UV light. Of course the debate is how much protection are you actually getting, but UV light is just light waves at a certain frequency and they can be reflected.

Right, but do these chemicals actually protect *in addition to* the coating within your glass? And if so, will these chemicals really block sun from deteriorating the coating (which is also UV treated) that's on top of your seats? People think that the sun dries out your interiors, but I have mixed feelings that that's 100% realistic with today's modern interior surfaces. I've seen tons of interiors that were faded/discolored due to the sun, but I have a hard time believing that a protectant(be it for fabric, leather or vinyl) could have eliminated this damage.

I might be misreading your post, but are you suggesting that the UV protection on the glass and in the coating is so strong that you don't need additional protection or are you suggesting that since you have seen these materials fade (with all of the inherent protection) that nothing could slow UV damage down?

Products, such as 303 Areospace Protectant have been independently tested (according to the manufacturer) and have been praised for years by end users in the aeronautical and marine industries, and certainty the hundreds of positive reviews have some baring on the products effectiveness.
