My interior stays pretty clean and I use leather masters for the occasional good scrub. My leather usually only needs the quick wipe down

I used the chemical guys stuff over the weekend on my leather....wow! I took the car in for the 60k service and when I went to pick it up, I had an offer from the shop foreman to buy the car and the sales guys were drooling as well.

I take it from that, I'll be keeping mine for a while.

Did you really apply it with your bare hands?
I have used this product in the past, with great results, but it is very hard on your skin.
Started using medical gloves after the first time as a result (been using it since `09)

Nice results..I imagine you could crank the heat in the car and speed up the evaporation process..

Chemical guys makes a leather cleaner and conditioner for around 40$. This product is simply amazing. It is pH balanced for leather and leaves no residue. Best of all it restores the "new car" smell! Results will look like the pictures posted at the start of this thread. Best part is it can be applied at any temp.

Again everyone is sooo impressed but the car could be a 2011 so seats should/would look great.

I stick with the BMW cleaner and my seats 2008 look great as well

Look at the pics again and look at the iDrive knob.

This stuff flat out works. I was skeptical at first, but I bought pristine clean and I love it for my leather.

Summer 2013 I'm definitely going to use the rejuvenating oil. This should be done once a year, then maintenance with pristine clean.

Don't worry Leatherique is amazing....I've used all brands with negative results
The Novillo leather absorbs all products !!!..Therefore is the rejuvenator oil
with thoroughly hydratation .
I tried before also BMW cleaner. It was the same as....nothing

+1 on Leatherique. Great product!

I use Chemical Guy's Leather Cleaner/Conditioner for the quick detail.

Leatherique is a bit more intense since you actually have to allow the product to dry on the leather. But the results are magnificent. It's hard to tell in the pics but Leatherique forces all the dirt/grime out of the leather.
