Cab5er you should get this stuff

It works perfect on both Leather seats and CF leather trim ... I cleaned my seats about 1 month ago and they still look like new ! It gives it very natural non-shiny look !

WHEW!! Good thing I ordered Titanium Shadow trim for my M3. I don't have to worry as much since it's just a great, simple looking plastic.

On occasion, I wipe my carbon leather trim down with a lightly damp microfiber cloth. Good as new! I see no need to regularly condition it.

BMW would not call it Leather if it were not leather.

Guys, Carbon leather is real carbon fiber without the resin with a piece of leather at the top. Thus it's called Carbon Leather.

Have you never seen carbon fiber that isn't lacquered before?

Yes, of course. But, there is no carbon fiber in this trim, I gurantee you!

Come on guys...the leather in modern cars is tanned with enough chemicals to withstand exposure to a friggin supernova. You can use windex on this stiff for cryin out load. So please, don't spend pages discussing this.
