My father in law has an old '99 e46 323 that could use a good leather treatment as well. I will tackle that after my ///M....
Thanks for the trust,and i'm 100% sure...you will have a very good result
I'm looking out for your pics...i will not miss them !

Anyone ever use leather honey for your cars? I have used on other leather products and it works incredible.

just finished with the interior of the car. It looks good, an improvement for sure. I don't think my seats were too bad to begin with, but they look nice and clean. I think I could have been more liberal with the oil, I will remember that for next time. All looks good except the couple of worn parts i inherited from the 1st owner, where only repair would fix. However, the oil and the clean did a good job making it looks less noticeable. Hard work, lots of sweat. It f'n hot out here. I will post pics shortly. Thanks Belgium.
Herew are some pics, i had to resize them so they don't look so good....

The Oem. look of the Novillo ///M3 leather looks very matte (Oem look)
The steering wheel gets shiny from friction, wear and sweat of our hands,so...yes you can try again,actualy before this pic. vvv i did my steering wheel 3 times

Normally the steering wheel is very matte. If it is glossy or shiny looking, it means it's dirty or the leather is worn.

I had a detailer use this Celijet leather cleaner on mine right after I bought it. It's supposed to prevent stains from dirt and spills. I paid my previous BMW dealership $800 to coat my car outside and in with their stuff - I paid this guy $200.

My new leather smell is still there which I'm happy about. The leather is still natural looking (not treated shiny!). When I got the car back I wondered if the protectant made the Bamboo Beige leather I have more orange. I can't really tell, so I figure it's not enough to be a problem.

I did notice there was a mark still left on the seat, so I wonder how well they applied it. I used some Maguiers to clean the mark off.

Now I don't want to interfere with the Celijet protectant with other cleaners, but I do want to wipe it down with some mild detergent. What should that be?

The leather in our cars doesn't need to be coated with anything. They are already coated from the factory if I'm not mistaken.

I have tried so many leather products, and I keep going back to Zaino.

Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner

Z-10 Leather in a Bottle

Leaves leather a matte finish, smells great, leaves no film on non-leather parts of the car.
