Leather cleaner.

[John 328i]

I just purchased some leather cleaner for my 2007 black interior e90 from \"chemical guys\". There out of California. For around $30.00 I got a cleaner and conditioner. It really did a great job. I\'m very picky so for me to endorse something I have to be satisfied

What type of finish did it return your seats to? More of a matte finish or shiny? I am looking to protect my seats in a new M3 and want to retain the matte finish.

Zaino. I am proof that it has protected my old 335i for the past 5 years. My seats looked almost new. No exaggeration. Get the spay cleaner and lotion conditioner. awesome combo. Using it now on my 2012 M3

I concur with zaino, the spray cleaner. I would not reccomend the lotion as I have used it before and it does not keep the matte finish. Its not as shiny as some others but definetly is not the stock fresh completely matte with no shine or sheen finish.

All you need is regular cleanings with the spray cleaner and a damp microfiber. Same with the steering wheel. A few sprays of the cleaner and wipe down of the wheel and it maintains the complete matte grippy feel. My seats look the same as the day I took the car home. My previous car after 4 years was the same way. Stay away from the lotion though as it is not necessary. The leather has a protective coating on it and the lotion is not needed to moisturize this type of leather so it is pointless. Try to wipe your seats and steering wheel down once a week with the spray and seats stay new.

The spray can also be used to clean all the other surfaces in the car which is nice because it avoids shine and also leaves that great leather smell which is a great feature of the spray.

yes, I used it on a mazda truck that I used to own. I remember that it was a lotion and that it does impart a bit of a sheen to the leather.
Mazda leather is very different than BMW leather. It is very vinyl-like, so I did not mind the sheen. I would not use it on Novillo leather!
