303 & Leatherique on my 2005 EX-L - Click HERE for Original Thread
mgpaulus
Couple of questions about my 2005 EX-L:

What's leather, and should get leatherique?

What's not leather, and should get 303?

Thanks.

The seating surfaces of the first and second rows are leather. The entire third row, armrest, all headrests, and backs of the other rows are vinyl.

Did you buy some leatherique recently? I tried to setup a buy on here where I would buy a gallon and split it up, but no one bit.

Have you used the leatherique yourself? Is it good stuff?

Haven't used it yet. Need to find a Saturday when we aren't planning on doing anything, and I can put it on, and then let the Pilot sit in the driveway for a while. That hasn't happened in a while either. But, it'll come, soon.

I'll report back when I do get around to it.

I used 303 Protectant on all my exterior plastic pieces....rear step on top of the bumper, mud guards, hood cowl, etc...works amazing as it makes all the parts look new again!! Also, 303 is great on tires as well if u want that new look...NOT the wet look, but fresh new tire look :) I need more of it...

I did get around to using it finally.
Used the Rejuvinator Oil, then left the car in the driveway for a couple of hours, all closed up. Then used the Prestine Clean and wiped it down.

My wife's response when she got in was, "the seat feels different." I'm not sure whether I ever got an answer about whether "different" = good or bad.
I like it, as I feel the seats aren't quite as slippery as whatever The Hub put on the seats when they detailed the car. Feels nice and cushy now.


Anyway, something I ran into, as a caution. The website says you can put some rejuvinator oil into your hand and then rub it into the leather. I did that, and managed to drip some onto my floormats. Now I have to get the floormats cleaned. My suggestion is to get one of those trapezoidal foam rubber brushes you use for urethane. I have one now.

Anyone else use the leatherique? I used some Maquier's gold Glass leather wipes this past weekend. They work pretty well, but 15 minutes after use, the seat feels the same. I am trying to prevent the drying and cracking of the seats over time.

Any suggestions?

I know some speak highly of Lexol.

I have both lexol and Z10 leather in a bottle, both work great but I think im a bit partial to the leather in a bottle...
