Petroleum distillates in meguiars
There is conflicting information regarding petroleum distillates in leather and vinyl care products. I have read not to use any petroleum distillates but have also read there are good ones and bad ones. Same goes for silicone good ones and bad ones.
Meguiars leather and vinyl products say they contain petroleum distillates so I would like to know if they will negatively effect
my leather or vinyl over time.

Re: Petroleum distillates in meguiars
Meguiars is a long time and trusted name in the auto detailing industry. I'm confident that their R&D department has done their DD.
If your uncomfortable with the ingredients, they are a ton of well respected leather protection companies that may not use petroleum distillates in their product.
Maybe Judy will chime in.

Judy has said many times only to clean the leather not to put a dressing on it.

I remember her emphasizing:

Here's an example of how safe petroleum distillates can be...
Chap-Stick, a product you apply to your lips contains 44 percent Petrolatums as well as Isopropyl Myristate and Cetyl Alcohol. All of these ingredients can sound bad for your skin but look how long Chap-Stick has been around, how safe it is for your skin and what a great product it is?
Stick with brands you trust and
trust that the chemist behind the
product formula is a qualified
chemist and has done their homework
to create a product that work and is
safe for the intended application.
