Default Leather Conditioners

I know there is always a debate as to whether or not leather

conditioners actually do any good on the coated leather in our

Corvettes. BUT?

If I decide I want to do it anyway are there any products, by brand

to avoid because of silicones, solvents etc.?

If you don't feel comfortable naming them on the Forum, please

PM me.

Thanks!

A Happy and Safe Holiday Season to all!

If you want to condition your leather then do so ... just use products like LeatherMasters which are designed to work with coated leather. 1Z Einszett and others also make products that are finished leather compatible.

To be more specific.

Protection Cream or Leather Vital?

Thanks!

Thanks!
Vital is designed for neglected leather and for leather that really hasn't been protected for a long period of time. The Protection Cream is more general use and used as part of the normal maintenance plan.
