Aren't our seats vinyl coated leather and not bare? Do these products still work on coated leather? I've been applying 303 exclusively up to this point

+1 for Leatherique.

I used it about a month ago. There is no comparison to any other product that
I have used.
My seats feel better than they did when I first bought the car in 2002.

It takes a little longer to apply but its well worth the extra effort.

Also, are you guys just applying to the perforated areas since the rest of the seat is vinyl?

Interesting stuff. I'll have to see if we have any in this area.

Vinyl? The seat is covered totally in leather.

Incorrect, only the seating surfaces(perforated areas) are leather, the rest is vinyl, perform the "crow's feet" test on them and you'll see what I'm talking about. Search for it also, its been covered before

Ok so if part of the seat is leather, and part of it is vynil, does everyone use the same treatment on both parts (perforated and non-perforated)

Yes, I've been using 303 aerospace protectant on the entire seat so far. It has worked well, but I would also like to find something specifically for the leather

Leatherique is a great product, but its biggest competition is Connolly - my person favorite. I would try the connolly products i havnt found anything that competes except letherique. As much as i drive (on average about 45K a year) my leather gets owned by this, that, and the other and connolly is all i use on it to keep it looking brand new.

Well, after reading a few comments posted here, I have decided to order leatherique directly from the manufacturer (much cheaper than any other place I have seen) since they have their "summer sale" going. I got the rejuvanator and prestine cleaner, I'll try them out and let everyone know how it went. My back seats are scratched and dirty and have lost their shine in some places because the previous owner had a dog. We'll see how much help this product does vs over the counter walmart leather conditioners (which do nothing to help in my case).
