Default Question for 303 Protectant users

Do you guys put 303 on your leather surfaces? Somewhere along the line I recall someone commenting it can dry out the leather. My new brain could have made that up...

I was going to do the lexol treatment (cleaner and conditioner) tomorrow and put 303 on all interior vinyl surfaces and windshield gasket, bumperettes, etc. but am wondering if I should end my leather treatment with a coating of 303.

I did the full leatherique treatment about three months ago.

Thanks in advance guys,
chuck

I use the 303 on these surfaces only and the Leatherique treatment on the leather portion of the seats.

As I understand it's only for rubber surfaces. I certainly wouldnt use on leather. On the 964 turbo I used on the rear spoiler and rubber trim pieces (exterior).

The info is right on the 303 site.

Depends if you have finished or unfinished leather. It can be used on finished leather.

FWIW -- I use it sparingly on plastic and leather without a problem - instructions say it is ok for leather.

i certainly think it is the best thing for plastic, rubber and the like - doesn't leave a shiny finish.

i have used lexol on leather but don't like the shiney amorall look it gives [on my leather].

i haven't noticed any smell [funny or otherwise] from my 303.

On finished leather which is plastic coated.

According to them, most/all European leather is unfinished.

Yes, unless you're lucky enough to have full leather, otherwise just seating surfaces.

Once in a while it's ok to clean the seats with, but don't do it regularly.
