sorry if I came off as impatient on the discount issue. You don't need to try to get us a discount, but nevertheless, you are still trying. That's very nice.

I just want to apply protectant as soon as possible, so...if I have to order at regular price, I might do that...if the discount doesn't seem possible. If it does, I will wait.

I have a question, leather protectant can be used on vinyl...such as the dashboard, doors, etc...so basically the entire interior of the car. However, I was thinking about applying Aerospace 303 protectant on the dashboard, doors etc. Which would be better?

Sean, I just wanted to thank you for showing us a great product. I ordered the cleaner and protectant. It works just like you said it would. Very easy to use and looks great. I used the conditioner on the entire interior. Nice satin finish.

If you apply it to the seats it gets in the holes, I just use our compressor at work to blow it out, but I can say that some products come out easier than others. Our CCP product, if left in will eventually absorb into the leather and go away, not leaving the white like Meguiar's...

You didn't come off impatient, I am kinda upset it is taking this long, but I really think we can do something and hopefully very soon, so hold out til next week for me...

In terms of using one product or the other, either should work fine, really your preference. Just don't use the vinyl stuff on leather and the door inserts are leather. For me, I just look for ease of use and time savings, so I would use the one...

303 Aerospace protectant says it is good for colored, finished leather. Should we not use it on leather anyway, and stick to real leather conditioners?
Thanks for all the good info.

Just found out today, I was invited to the Fall Colors meet to do a talk on leather, so I will be there Saturday all day to answer any questions in person. I may even bring a kit down with the black, red and suzuka colors to do touchups...we shall see.

i use STP leather , vinyl, plastic and rubber cleaner and protector , which gives a nice glossy finish
i used this on the whole interior
my friend saw it , and comented on how my interior looked awsome compared to his dull one
i told him what i use
he was shocked , and told me never to use these products on the car
i asked why , he said that , yes they do give a nice gloss , but after it dries up , the interior (esp the dash) will grow wrinkles , and well be duller than ever
i was surprized , i wondered if it was true
so , can he be right? even after a long time of useing such a product?
thanks!!
