Thumbs up Cleaned leather with Leatherique ...

so i took advantage of the hot sunny weather and applied Leatherique oil and Clean products and mann i am super happy with results.There wasnt much dirt but whatever was there, all came out and now it looks like new..
Applying the product was easy. Wished i had taken some before and after shots but i was so excited about using the product that it completely slipped my mind. Maybe i will take some after shots.

ok here they are..I also applied it on handbrake leather area, front armrest and front side doors. The back seats are in good condition so i didnt bother applying it there. Plus i wanted to see the results ( or any damage) from front seats. I was a bit scared @1st tho to try it. Things like fading, or making the leather more worse because i have heard a few bad results on various forums. But meh i gave it a try. Now its more soft and "comfortable" to sit on
I would definitely recommend Leatherique to everyone and should be applied once year.
Also washed the car since i cleaned the interior

On side note : I did had a small crack/fading of leather on side bolster driver seat. Applying Leatherique willl make it worse. So make sure if you have a tear, fading or damage to part of leather avoid applying it on there ( or test it on that area 1st).

That looks very good. Ive got a lot more wear on seats especially the the drivers seat bolster.

I,ve ordered cleaner/dye/conditioner from www.carleatherdye.co.uk and will have a go at reconollising.

Looks good but nothing beats Gliptone Products: http://www.liquidleather.com/

Try the cleaner and conditioner once and you'll never go back to anything else. The conditioner smells exactly like brand new leather.
