Thumbs up Leatherique applied (pics)

So i went ahead and applied oil and clean on front seats. Now they were not that dirty but was oily and had "lines" on sides. I was surprised to see quite a lot of dirt in the bucket with water (last step of the process). I think its hard to see much change in black seats if you compare it with beige colour leather.
The after pics (last two) may not be that outstanding (plus i took them @ night) nonetheless i could feel softness and comfort than before. I have never done it before and was happy with the results.

They look good. Glad you had good luck with the product. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

yup..tho i have read on other car forums that there is like 0.0000000001% chance that the leather seats have fade. But i dont know what could be the cause. I didnt test it out i just gave it a full go ahead. Even if the seats looks clean one should def try out Leatherique and be surprised how much dirt will come out

so i sat in the drivers seat after cleaning them with Leatherique and i was impressed with the softness feel to it ..it was as if i sank into the seats. Definitely a major improvement.
