▀▄ eas - Leatherique | before and after shots

Hey guys, since I seem to really enjoy doing before and after shots of extremely dirty interior, I thought I would share the joy with you all. Notice how the dirty side is actually shiny. I have been using the Leatherique brand to clean the leather on these parts. This armrest took 1 minute to get this result More before and after pics on this 7 series arm rest:

We had a set of Z4M seats here just begging to be cleaned, so I gave it a shot using leatherique. Pretty impressive!

More parts of the 7 series. Just a reminder, I spent only about 1 minute per section and only used the cleaner. If you really took your time and used the rejuvinator and the cleaner the results would be about 50% better than what is shown here

Here is an e46 steering wheel that I did. Unfortunately I did not take a before shot, but it was extremely shiny, almost looking like plastic. The stitching was also very dark, and dull.

That's a massive improvement Brandon. Did that car belong to a mud wrestling enthusiast? That's just nasty.

Wait. You didn't use the rejuvenator oil? Wow, I thought that was sacrilege.

I use the oil, let the car sit in the sun for a day, then use the cleaner. Always had fantastic results. But now you say I can get good results without spending all this time. Dayum! Well, it's pretty special when I do it the proscribed way so I think I'll stick to that.

Cheers.
