Default CarPro CQuartz Fabric & Leather Review

So I finally had the chance to apply F&L this past weekend and was very happy with the results. The look of the leather is a perfect balance between matte and glossy, without the greasy feeling like most leather conditioners. Also, the water beading is a lot better and it was very easy to apply using a foam applicator. I used about 25ml to treat all the leather surfaces in my IS250.
Process:
-Leatherique oil & cleaner
-APC wipe down
-Final wipe down with warm water
-Apply product & let it cured outside (the initial glossiness will tone down after curing or buffing w/ microfiber towel)

Hmmm... not sure I really like the glossiness. I love when my leather is nice and clean and very matte. Keep us posted as time goes on.

Does the seat have a different feeling to it after the F&L was applied/cured? Does the leather still feel nice and soft?

The leather was a little sticky after initial application but a moist microfiber towel took care of that problem. As for the feel of the leather, it felt just as nice and soft as after I used the leatherique combo. I will keep everyone updated on the durability.
