Subject: Leatherique is money well spent!! Author: noahas : member since June, 2005 : 276 posts Posted on: 2005-09-04 12:13:50

I know there have been a few posts on Leatherique in the past. I thought I would add my experience. I received it on Thursday and got the 32 oz bottles of both the rejuvinator and pristine clean. After putting the rejuvinator on Friday morning and letting it back in the sun all day Friday, I used the pristine clean to remove it Friday night. I applied both of these on all the leather and even on the dark beige or brown part that I think is vinyl on the dash board as well as the section above the wood trim on the door panels. It was definately an enormous improvement over other leather treatments. I didn't anticipate seeing any benefit since I thought my leather was already in very good condition, but it is definitely money well spent. They seats are significantly cleaner (as evidenced by feel, but also the amound of black dirt on the cleaning towel - a remarkable amount really). In addition, I was planning on getting a new center console (where the phone sits) because it was badly worn from use. Applying the leatherique brought it back to the point where it is almost ok just the way it is now. But I bought the OEM match dye anyways, and will be trying that this week. If the cost of the product is a hinderence to people, just think that for $100 including shipping, you can get the treatment & dye, and save hundreds more by just by redyeing the worn leather (for me, it is the center console as well as the center column between the drivers side front door and rear door that is worn from entering/exiting). All in all, I was sceptical going in, even a little bit after application, but after completing it, and giving it a few more days (they say that it still absorbs up to 48 hours)I am a big fan. I would echo the other comments posted though about following directions AND using a good amount (4 oz. per seat is recommended) as well as using a spray bottle.

Hope this helps someone.
