Default Leather Dash + UV Protection

Yep...another UV protection thread. Sorry in advance.

What do folks use for their leather dash? I've considered ceramic (Gyeon Leather Coat) but am not yet sold on going that route vs periodic, manual top coat.

I use InnerQD (CarPro) inside my cars and it has light UV protection but have thought of using PERL. 303 is another option but the garage cabinets are getting full so I'd prefer something multi-use.

TIA

For the best protection I would consider the lightest ceramic tint on the market and put it on all the windows. It will not only keep the interior cool but also stop UV from entering the car thus protecting the leather in multiple ways.

That above. Tint your windows/windshield and then keep it shaded, covered, or indoors as long as you can. Unless you park your car outside it's whole life, I doubt much damage will occur unless you keep it 15+ years...but maybe you will!
