Leatherique FTW!

I have always considered my leather to be in great shape. However, at the track I sat inside a like new E92 Coupe and realized the new leather is so damn soft. After the track day, probably from sweating my ass off, I noticed my seat was very shiney and just did not have that fresh matte look to the leather. I didnt expect it too since the car just turned 4. Then Sanjay (checkmate) came by to swap exhausts, and same thing, he had 23k miles on his 2011, and the leather also felt more plush. With the recent heat wave here in NE region, I decided it was the perfect time to do the leatherique treatment. I applied the rejuvenator oil in 3 separate times throughout the day and let it sit in the sun all day and let the oil work in until the next day. I cleaned up with pristine clean and I could not believe what it did for the leather! The leather is literally like new again. No sheen to it and super plush again. I didnt take great pics, but you can see some during and after shots.

Awesome. I had similar results and love the feel of the new seats!

Personally the steering wheel had the change for me.

Great job btw.

I have been using leatherique since the 90's when I had my E36 M3 and it is the best hands down
