So still putting silicones on coated leather doesn't maker sense as it still soaks into the leather and causes deterioration. Over time you'll still see it crack more than if you used proper leather conditioner and when treating just let it soak longer or even put in the sun to let the heat open up the micro pores in the vinyl.


Finally someone who gets it. You are absolutely correct querty.

303 is water based and it would not work well on an outside surface like vinyl siding for long. Even when I used it on boat seats for something moored in the water it still had to be covered over but then lasted and protected for a long time.
