Default Leather Barrier

Yes, there are tons of topics on this issue.

I wanted to protect my nulux the best I can from dirt, stains, dye transfers. I know it is best to get a water based flourocarbon like Leather Master's leather protection cream.

I was wondering if this was the best and only choice?

They have Leather Masters Leather Barrier, Guardsman Protect and Preserve, and Meguiar's Leather Seal Treatment to name a few.

I clean my leather with a damp cloth, add the 303, and the leather protection cream about once every 2 weeks but I was wondering if there was something more long lasting I could use besides the carpro leather coating.

Or do you pros recommend the carpro coating?

I do understand it's not real leather but I still see some stains that appear on this leather and considering how mine is a light colored leather, I'd like to keep it in pristine condition

Thanks!

Leather Master Protection Cream will last several months. A good routine is a weekly vacuum and wipe down with a wrung out cotton towel. Every 3-4 months do a deep clean and reapply the LMPC. While Nuluxe is a synthetic leather and gets no benefit from conditioners or hydration, the LMPC will avoid serious dye transfer staining. Doing a full clean and protect every two weeks is way overkill. It won't hurt anything but is a needless waste of time and product.

Hers wear I saw the seats are PU coated. They seem durable as hec have withstood numerous drenchings in 300k miles of 2 LS's. I've tried to little avail is there any conditioners that make the ML seats softer with the PU coating which it seems like it has to me?
