Leatherique: A rough how-to, my thoughts, and a few pics.

Nice. Can we say the products helped to remove the lines on the back seats ? My e90 has a similar line, due to my son's car seat.

I'd like to think so.

I want to come over and just sit in those seats. They look extremely comfortable.

They aren't, I promise... My M3 Novilio leather on the other hand... Wow. That stuff is amazing.

I'm glad u did a write/opinion on this . I have the leatherique product sitting in my garage waiting for that Houston heat to come in . I'm ready to tackle this n improve by seats thanks

Jon, thanks for this writeup! I purchased the 32oz bottles awhile ago and am waiting for it to heat up a bit more before using them. The backseats of my ZHP are still matte so I'm not expecting much there, but the driver and passenger seat are starting to shine/wrinkle a bit.

So, just to recap, you don't recommend a spray bottle and direct application? Better to "squirt" it into a sponge/applicator pad and wipe/knead the rejuvenator oil into the seats? Let it bake, wipe it off with MF's and then repeat the same method for the pristine clean?

You should still use Leatherique on the back seats especially. Since they don't get used, no oils get on to them and eventually they'll turn into rocks, like my rears have. Doing this will keep them supple.

I found the spray bottle way too messy. For the rejuvenator, I would use a squirt bottle (or the one it comes in) and just pour it into your hands a little at a time, and spread that way. That stuff is supposed to go on heavy, and it's somewhat thick so it will stay where you spread it (to an extent). I liked the squirt bottle and sponge method for the cleaner.

Good luck, and agree with BP. The feel of the leather will improve dramatically, even if the look doesn't change much.
