Leather seat rejuvenation help....

[M3 Number 86]

Hey guys,

So I've seen all the posts and threads about leather cleaning/upkeep. Honestly I have neglected the interior and with track days (sweat / dirt / grime) I noticed today how shitty my driver seat has gotten. I haven't driven the car for a few days since we got a new 535d and I can use the 135i as a daily now until it is returned (both are wife's cars so the interior is immaculate).

The leather is scratched on the door side side bolster (don't really care about that and I may Sharpie the color back in lol) but the worst part is where the thigh extenders are. The leather where the extension pulls out is hard as fuck. Felt like beef jerky.

Is there a way I can clean and soften up the leather down there or at this point should I just look to buy new seats?

I will posts pics later today. Will leatherique work on this or is that more of a maintenance job as well. Are there any other products I can use to condition?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Leatherique is a bit of an atom-bomb treatment for leather. I say try it.
