1z cockpit is better for interior and gives a matte non-shiny finish. 303 Aerospace is super glossy and shiny - I would never use that on the interior.

303 also does not contain any cleaners in it unlike the 1z. 1z is a 1 step product to clean and protect.

I love 303. If you wipe it down it's not shiny at all.

This.

If you are using 303 and its going on glossy you aren't applying it per the instructions. I live in an ultra sunny area and use 303 on my dash. If it went on glossy I would be blinded by glare and windshield reflection constantly

It's quite a bit shinier than 1z cockpit.

1Z, when applied, looks like nothing is applied at all - that is the look I like to acheive. With 303 it is obvious something is applied.

Not that 303 is bad.. I use it for exterior unpainted plastic trim, tires and such.

No , don't do it because 1Z is not for leather .
Best thing for our leather is this => In the last pic you can see my steering wheel after the treatment http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=768340

I tried the leatherique treatment also in winter , and it seems to work too .
But than I let it sit for 2-3 days just in my garage and so out of the sun ,and it works too .
So personal I would try it out of the sun but for a longer time .
And I can tell you...This works 100% and it gives that matte factory look back again .

Probably somewhere around in your area , thinking about the shipping costs .
I suggest...Just Google it and look after a place close to your location , and let me know .

Get Leather Masters leather cleaner. It works great on the M3's novillo leather.

My favorite is Adam's Total Interior Detailer. Works on all surfaces including leather. Leaves a completely matte finish.
