OK OK I know this isn't really the place, but after doing some searches on this in the Aussie car forums, I couldn't find an answer! So, hoping you car buffs can help me
After just purchasing a new car with leather seats the car dealer (Toyota) told us that, for $450 extra (!!!!!!) we could have a protectant applied on the leather that would repel stains, prevent fading, cracking etc. Being ever skeptical and outraged at the price, I said thanks but no thanks.
Reason being is that our other car has leather too, and after three yrs, it's as good as the day we bought it (even with 3 kids and a dog in the back) so I can't see the point.
However, because this leather is a much lighter colour, I'm tempted to find out if there is indeed a product I can buy to protect it. Does anyone know of one or has used one successfully?
Thanks in advance
