You really don't know how much this guys know about leather.

One thing you can do to compare is treating half of your back seat every 4 months and the other half every 4 weeks. The idea is to expose the leather to the same conditions, including light, sun exposure and amount of times that people sit in it.
The same can be done with the driver's seat. (left Vs right side).

After one year you will be able to compare.

I have an even better idea. After 1 year, we can compare our black interiors and see how they compare.

Although, you may be at a bit of a disadvantage living in Florida!!

That wouldn't be reliable. First, because my interior is fox red and second, because if you are going to compare 2 outcomes, you need similar conditions.

Now.... we can do it anyways.

I can't believe Leatherique hasn't been mentioned!

When I got my old M3, it had Imola red seats, I wanted to keep the original BMW "dull" look to them instead of the shiny one you get when you use these conditioners/cleaners. I searched for a while until I tried Leatherique, I have so say its the best product out there. It cleans and conditions the seats and keeps that "original" BMW look and feel to them. It can be a little messy but well worth it!

Leatherique is the only solution!

Raceglaze leather balm all the way. 90% gets absorbed in 25 - 35 minutes and 100% is absorbed in and hour or hour and 20 minutes. provides a nice soft finish, doesnt bleed out of the leather, non greasy, and is satin finish.
