    I usually use Leatherique and I think it works well at keeping my seats looking good. I also use Zaino Z10 as routine maintenance.



    Has anybody tried what is on the video below on C5 or C6 Corvette seats. It seems that the C6 seats do not have a coating like most automotive leather does so I would be afraid it would soak up too much water and do damage. Being so absorbant or not having that plastic like coating seems to be a good thing when using Leatherique since it allows the leather to absorb it much better. I guess Leatherique is water based. Thoughts?

    Basically this methodology works to remove most wrinkles in finished leather upholstery. I `m not sure that the C6 has unfinished leather, a rarity in auto upholstery
    What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.

    C6 leather is finished and about as cheap as it gets. Hyundais have better leather.

    Yes, it is very cheap. It appears like it is unfinished or at least it absorbs moisture very easily. If it is finished it is not a very good finish.
