UV Leather Protectant help
Hi All
At the moment, I find I am parking my car outdoors (my role with work doesnt allow for undercover parking) with a temperature of 120.2 degrees (yes 49 deg Celsius) here down under I have windshield sun shades and side blinds etc.... I cant help feel for the merino leather.... it gets so soft....and in a few years cracking may be evident sooner than later would you be able to fire away with your suggestions, for products, that would just help the internal leather a tad ?? thanks guys... |

Same summer heat problem in Southern Europe, I simply spread a light colored bath towel over the seats.
Leather products may distil or decompose to unknown compounds at those temperatures! |

Don't over apply any dressing ... the key is to keep the surface somewhat moist in the baking oven that is your car. I recommend Swissvax products. You can also mist the surface lightly with clean water and wipe it with a clean terry cloth every so often.
