Default Leatherique Question

I ordered the Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean to do my seats when I get my car back home. I will not be dyeing anything as the seat leather is only 1.5 years old. When I was on the phone with the Customer Service Rep. she said that I could do the vinyl door panels and the dash using the same process for the leather. I would think vinyl would be OK, but a hard plastic dash?

1. Has anyone done a dash or vinyl using the Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean?

2. Were the results worth the effort?

Thanks. I look forward to the answers.

Mike

Mike, it will be fine on the vinyl and plastic, but I think 303 will give better results for less cost.

Are you saying to use the Aerospace 303 Protectant on the vinyl door panels and the dash and leave the Leatherique to just the seats? I agree that Leatherique was pricey and if I am not going to get a better look why waste the money. I appreciate the advice. I know people really like 303 from what I have read.

+1 Correct use 303 on all vinyl n plastics . What size bottle of cleaner n rejuvinator did you buy ? You only need the 16 oz size it will last you a long time .

Also welcome back to the RB club

I've used Leatherique before on vinyl and the dash. The rejuvinator isn't really needed since they're plastic.

However, the Prestine Clean is something else. It REALLY cleaned up the plastic/vinyl. Does (instead of doesn't) a much better job than even the 303 stuff!

I was sold the 32 oz size of both. They did have the discount. I have 2 other cars I can use it on. I am glad to be one of the few in RB club and glad to get back the car I did the most work on as well.

To clarify, did you mean to say DOES a much better job? Thanks

I wouldn't. It's WAY to expensive to use that way, & will not penetrate vinyl.

I would some of the vinyl/rubber cleaners on the market with a medium bristle brush. 303 is a protectant & not the best cleaner.

This is what I use for plastic & vinyl.

+303. Or try both (303 and pristine clean) on different parts and report back.

Just ordered some myself, got the 32 oz due to the current sale. Looking forward to some warmer weather to try this stuff out. Three of our four cars have leather so should get money's worth.
