Made the leather super soft like its supposed to be; nice matte soft finish without shine, not slippery, no weird smells.
I've used Lexol on my other car, but this stuff was really superior.
I even put some on the steering wheel leather, and it worked great.
Only thing that is a bit inconvenient is waiting for the oil to penetrate. I just did six hours, but others have waited a full day.

I've heard the BMW leather system is good too, but I haven't tried it.

Hello
Is the leather still looking good on your E93
?
I'm wondering because the E93 is suppose to have sun reflective leather and I haven't found any info on how to clean and maintain.

I've had my E93 for two months and the black leather is every easy to scuff up. I use plain water and it cleans up OK but I'm really concerned how this leather is going to hold up. My old E46 M3 with nappa leather was a mess when I sold it.
