Talking In-between-leatherique leather care

So I'm in the process of conditioning my leather with leatherique right now, and I'm wondering if there's a good conditioner wipe or something that I can use in between leatherique treatments? I'm sure they aren't great, but is anything worthwhile or even good?

Also, is 303 aerospace protectant for our leather seats or just the dash etc?

303 Aerospace Protectant is a perfect maintenance product for your leather after Leatherique. It'll provide your leather with UV protection and leave a matte finish behind. I like applying it with a slightly damp microfiber towel, misting the product onto the towel and wiping it onto the leather, then follow up with a dry microfiber towel to buff to a like new finish.

Let us know how the Leatherique treatment turns out for you.

So the 303 aerospace protectant is ok to use on leather that is not cleaned? meaning 3 weeks from now, it's ok to apply?

i would go with PB Leather Stuff for maintenance cleaning and conditioning, it will make the leather smell new again. its an all in one sysem that cleans and conditions in one step so its quick and easy to use. just make sure you at least vacuum the seats first.

303 doesn't contain any cleaners. So I suggest you lightly brush the surface to remove any dust and them vacuum. Clean the surface with a damp micro fibre towel alternated witha cleaner

Like all detailing task’s the correct preparation before applying the product will ensure that it works correctly, and has both durability and aesthetics. Iz einszett 'Plastik-Reiniger' is an intensive, non-corrosive, non-acidic two-phase deep cleaner for vinyl trim and urethane covered ‘leather’ automotive upholstery, that removes grime build-up thoroughly and effortlessly, these chemicals restore your vinyl’s original texture and resiliency; use to clean all coloured and clear water-based acrylic polyurethane covered automotive upholstery; this product is biodegradable, formalin-free and environmentally friendly.

If you wipe down your leather once a week using the technique I mentioned, you'd be fine. If it requires a cleaning, as TOGWT mentioned, there are no cleaners in 303 so you'd want to use something before, then top it with 303. Depends on how well you maintain your car. If there's just a light dusting you need to wipe down, a damp MF towel with some 303 will do the trick.

+100 on the PB for maintenance between deep cleanings.
