Would the Meguiars work on leather? Would be nice to knock all the birds with one stone.

Haha k, k,

I am planning on cleaning leather seats with Chemical Guys APC but want to condition them after. (It's for a family member not a customer, but still want to do a good job)

But would like to clean the dashboard/ vinyl with the APC and have a conditioner that that i could put on top of leather/vinyl/rubber.
