I got ahold of some Leatherique and have coated the black seats of my 1989 BMW 325is with the Rejuvinator Oil. (Un)fortunately, these seats don`t have a lot of seams for the oil to permeate into. It`s mostly large sheets of leather with a some stitches running through them only for decoration.
Anyway, I put the oil in about 24 hours ago and much of the oil hasn`t absorbed into the leather. Some of it has but not nearly as much as I thought. I know some people recommend leaving it on for 2-3 days, but I`ve also heard 8 hrs. It`s HOT here in SoCal, too, especially inside a black/black car! I should say that I applied the Lexol treatment onto the front seats about 6 months ago and TW to the rear bench (not the front seats, though) about 1 month ago. Could this affect the absorption of the RO? I`m not crazy about scrubbing my seats with sandpaper...
As for whether my seats are covered in some sort of vinyl or clearcoat... I`ve tried the drop of water test and it seems that a small amount of water does absorb into the seats. Not a lot, but some. Most just wipes off but it leaves a small water stain. Does this mean my seats aren`t coated? Thanks!
