I love Leatherique but it bugs the hell out of me that they call their product "Prestine Clean"--with an -e-, not an -i-. Is that misspelling supposed to have some meaning? I thought it might but their website is so full of misspellings and grammatical errors that I just assume they misspelled their own product.

The coating is porous and will absorb conditioner. Having said that, I agree that using a damp microfiber is definitely the best way to maintain the newer Porsche leather and that includes the Full Leather option.

Damp cloth is a good idea only if its followed up w/ product.

You guys need to realize that most water will spot your leather over the long run.

Theres more than 1 way to do it but heres what I do w/ leather thats generally in good cond:
1. Turn on the heated seats
2. Vacuum throughly, especially b/w the cushions
3. Gently rub the leather w/ a slightly damp cloth/MF
4. Apply a small amount of cleaner on the applicator first then on the leather . Work in small sections- I usually do it in 4 sections
5. Wait for the leather to be completely dry before going on to the next step. I find that dry leather absorbs conditioner better
6. Apply a small amount of conditioner on your hands and apply a THIN coat to the leather. Note Conditioner tends to be thicker than cleaner and using too much can clog the holes. I like to double coat the stitched areas
7. If possible let the car sit in the hot Sun for a few hours
8. Using the softest Cloth/MF, gently buff off the excess.

I've used Griot's products for years on all my collector cars and I'm very happy with their leather care products. There are really two types of leather care products, those designed to clean soiled surfaces and those designed to maintain or even rejuvenate older leather. You can overdue it with either product, but particularly with the latter. Griots's has a pretty good video on their web site that discusses leather care. It obviously features their products, but there's some good info in there. As long as you apply the product sparing (which is what they recommend) there aren't any issues with perforated seats. Additionally, the Griot's Leather Care product dries clear.

Do you use the Griot's Interior Cleaner to clean the leather seats and then apply the Leather Care Spray with a micro fiber cloth?

Thanks!

Anybody use Aerospace 303 on leather?

PhilD

303 for is plastic, it will not do much for the leather apart from make it slippery. Although it may actually help protect the surface, but leather needs conditioning and moisturizing, 303 will not do that.

Where is the best place to purchase these products?

Chaos

303 only on rubber, good leather products and 303 from Amazon.com

Chrono

Yeah thanks, that's what I thought. From the claims on the bottle, it's good for everything, including leather.

Where did people buy these esoteric products before the internet? Did they exist back then. Back in the 80's, Meguiars and Mothers were the shiznick.

PhilD

I used to order stuff by mail order from ads in magazines or word of mouth. Sure is a lot easier these days!

Lemon Pledge is good for leather or so they say, but I'm not going to start making my car smell like a fruit market
