    How old and what condition is the leather? On new leather I would skip it...Not sure if a conditioner will inhibit leather guards ability to bond, probably not but you might want to test a section, let it set up and spill some water on it and reacts...

    Fairly new, its a 2017 Golf R,
    My concern is L1 doesn't have any conditioning capabilities as per product description

    Abrasion resistant
    Anti bacterial
    Prevents dye transfer

    So im thinking i need to apply a conditioner to preventing the leather from drying, it gets pretty hot where i live around 45-50c summer time.

    I wouldnt condition. Most likely your leather is coated from the factory and the conditioner wouldn’t penetrate. It would how ever probably affect bonding of the coating.
