Just like automotive paint systems which have undergone major changes in technology, automotive leather and vinyl surfaces have also had some considerable improvements in the past decade. Nearly all automotive leather surfaces are treated with special chemicals to provide resistance to scratching and marring and increase durability and protection from weathering. The chemistry of vinyl surfaces has improved dramatically also, to give these surfaces a leather look and feel. The vinyl surfaces are also treated with similar chemicals as those used for automotive leather to increase their durability and optimum protection from weathering. Over a period of months, these protective chemicals are lost from the surface.
Optimum Protectant Plus cleans and replenishes these chemicals while adding UV protection. Most over-the-counter leather and vinyl protectants leave an oily film behind which gives them a glossy look and slick feel. Since these products are not absorbed into the surface, they last only a few days and act as a dust magnet. Optimum Protectant Plus will keep leather supple with a natural satin finish. It helps reduce cracking on leather and vinyl surfaces, as well as reducing scratching and marring. Protectant Plus penetrates and adheres to these surfaces, therefore it does not make them oily or slick and provides lasting protection.
