Leatherique

I treated my Mustang leather seats with Leatherique. The rejuvenator oil is ...well...oily! It glops on and I used a terry applicator to spread it out. I left it on overnight and most of it was absorbed, but there was still a film of oily stuff. I whipped out the Pristine Clean and went over it with a terry shop cloth. It definitely does clean the leather! It took a couple of passes to get the film off, and even then I noticed that the seats were slightly tacky and my pants didn't slide on the leather.

It has now been several days since using Leatherique. The leather is now extremely soft and that tackiness is completely gone. I don't think it did anything for the wrinkle lines, but they are perhaps less noticeable due to the cleaning action of the Pristine Clean. I don't notice any change in smell, but the leather is now buttery soft!

I will have to give Zaino Leather in a Bottle a try next to compare the results... But for now, other than a slightly messy application procedure, I give Leatherique a

Hehe - you beat me to it.... I was just going to post a review.

I first tried Leatherique awhile back and used it on my new car - and wasn't that impressed. Mostly because Leatherique really shines when it comes to older, dirtier leather.

I just used it on my wife's Accord - and the results were OUTSTANDING! First, you apply the Rejuvenator Oil - trick here is to get the leather as hot as possible (I left the heat on, and parked the car in the sun). Work it in by hand, then wait. I left it for about 3 hours, and found the filthiest seats you've ever seen!

As per instructions, I applied the Prestine Clean - and it worked like a charm! When I was done - those Accord seats were as good as new (except for that cheap cracked Honda leather - lousy %*!!%).

The best side effect - the car smells like leather. It's not quite the new car smell, but it'll do I certainly give this product a thumbs up as well.

I agree

I have used Leatherique on our 93 740il (145k miles) and the 94 540 (118k miles) I left it on all day when it was kind of warm out. The leather in both cars is still very soft and clean.

I have 10K miles on the vette and I'll try it on that next.
