Carpro leather coat for Merino leather?

Hi all,

Has anyone used or experienced with the Carpro leather coat product for protecting their M5/M6 Merino leather seats?

http://www.carpro-us.com/cquartz-fab...er-coat-100ml/

Will this also prevent color dye marking? The description said don't use it on white leather, I wonder that means no for SilverStone or Platinum color...

Thanks for sharing

I would recommend leather masters products. Their leather barrier product prevents dye transfer.

@spinny02 this stuff may make the leather easier to clean.

I have no complaint for the leather master stuff. I coated the seat with the dye transfer barrier a month ago, and now any color or dirty wipes off easily with just a micro fiber cloth and the leather master cleaner.

Thanks Stealth.

Does Leather Master products keep the merino leather in it's original condition?

I mean, does it make it more oily or shiny? Merino as it comes from factory has no oil or shine look, it's just a matte fine grain texture, I'd like to preserve it that way. Not sure if that's possible?

Thanks

Yes. I would recommend you use the barrier sparingly (generally most lotions create gloss when used excessively) and use the matte version of the leather protection cream which won't affect the finish at all.

When people say "use sparingly", how much do you/they mean? For example, if I were to put a drop of the leather master product on a cloth that was the size of a quarter, what kind of coverage would I expect to get out of that? 6 square inches? A square foot? An entire seat?

I would say a quarter drop is about square foot.

Just experiment a bit, I started with a dime size drop and try to cover large area making sure I'm not soaking the cloth or soaking the leather.
