3) the pictures are of 2 different qualities. before is from a home camera the after looks like a picture off the internet that was copied. 4) I have an Audi A8 and I have black interior and have been using Leatherique since I got the car and it does make the leather softer and prevents premature aging but it doesn not darken the leather. GMBLACK3A will inevitably deny that the photos are fake but just look at the two pictures. The only way these photos can be real is if you did a full restoration on the interior and dyed your seats in which case this isnt a TRUE LEATHERIQUE result.

Why do you have to lie? Leatherique is a great product without having to put up phoney pics. look at the Ferrari pics(excellent) that is detailing at its finest.(great job with the Ferrari.

It's the same car. Before looks like he used flash and the second, no flash. Look, the cd and the red thing are still in the dash. There is still "diamond type mold" on either side of the 928 but, because of the different lighting, it looks different. Look at the creases in the leather. The same creases are still there. They don't look dyed to me... only a little overexposed because of the flash.

They're the same...you need to get a grip before accusing someone of fraud.

First photo is using a flash and has sharp focus. Second photo has no flash and is slightly out of focus.

Second photo the dash/trim is dressed so looks new (and carpet cleaned), and yes Leatherique does darken leather and make creases close/shrink.

A poor first post.

sounds like i'll have to try some. after my supply of leatermasters is used up. i've been using it since my truck was new so the seats are still in really good condition. i'd say they are a little softer and better feeling than when i got the truck. after reading this i'm quite curious to try it and compare it to leathermasters.

Yep, there's even a scuff to the upper left of the seat controls in both pics.

Somewhat different lighting conditions, probably. But it isn't a different car.

Conspiracy theorist?

Here is the full writeup on the black 928, the only 928 I have ever had to the pleasure to detail.

Bret and I made such an amazing transformation on the exterior of the car, I'll bet that the newb calls me out on that as well.

Lighting is everything in photography......

You can change the color of any object by just changing the amount of light you expose it to....

Washed out black becomes gray and underexposed gray is deep black......

I think most here already realize this but, conspiracy theorists sometimes need a little reminder......

Awesome write up, and nice after pics.

In case I missed it in the writeup, do you really apply it all by hand or do you use a towel?
