Re: Pinnacle BL Hyde Soft Leather Cleaner and Leather/Vinyl Coating Review
Great review, are you suppose to condition the leather before coating it or does the coating take the place of the conditoner if that make sense. Thanks Chris.

Re: Pinnacle BL Hyde Soft Leather Cleaner and Leather/Vinyl Coating Review
In theory, conditioner will apply first, then coating. But for the leather, I wonder if coating will stop the leather to breath. That means leather will dry out quickly, isn't it? Thanks

Nice review, I had similar results with a glossiness that reduced to a natural matte sheen after awhile. It was also on the colder side when I applied it, so it might have taken a bit longer to dry.
I was under the impression the coating needed a clean surface to bond to, wouldn't using the conditioner prior to the coating prevent the coating from bonding properly? Nick?

I would do one or the other - conditioner or coating. Depending on the type of leather and the amount of conditioner that you use, the coating might have a difficult time bonding.
I tend to use the conditioner on the seats and the coating on leather arm rests, dashboards, leather inserts on door panels, etc.

Just to add to what Nick said...if you have (clear) coated leather (not vat dyed) you should use the coating 100% of the time. I have never seen a point to conditioning coated leather because the product never reaches through the (clear) coat. I'm exicted to try out the leather coating on my nappa (clear coated) bmw seats.

Hey Scott, sorry for my ignorance but how do I know if my leather seats are clear coated or not? I have an 2013 Audi Q5 with Chestnut brown leather seating.

Mostly new car leathers are coated. Tested by using water, if water comes through seat (absorbent), then it's not coated. Hope this help.
