No. Well maybe if you put it on too thick and don't rub it in.
And in response to another post, we are talking about leather not vinyl. Armor All leaves things too slippery, in my opinion.

What ever you do not use Armor All on anything! It will eventually ruin the surface you apply it to. Every manufacturer will tell you to use products that contain SILICONE. Armor all is water based and will run and streak when it gets wet.

leather treatment
Thanks for the tips. I did the Armor all once about 25 years ago. I had to go back and pick my wife up. I think she has forgotten about that one

Yup. Lexol brand Neatsfoot oil. Jackets, boots, vests, gloves, everything.
To be honest though; I don't know if it helps with UV protection. Definitely helps with waterproofing.

I have used the H-D leather stuff, and also took the wifes LazyBoy cleaning kit
she uses on furniture. I used Meguiars on the seats in our 32 Ford coupe, but they don't see that many UV rays.

Most all the products mentioned above do not provide much, if any UV protection. That is why I use BLACKFIRE High-UV Leather Conditioner

Doc Bailey's treatment
Pure mink oil
Every spring I allow my seat to get hot by putting it in the sun. I then use pure mink oil, a heavy coat and work it in. After a day or so I use Doc Baily's. Let it sit over night then buff
Use a lot on the stitches.
Never had any water problems
