I saw it a few years ago walking thru the shop where the technician that does instrument repair was working on an old violin that looks like the kid had left it out in the rain for 3 years.

He poured a small amount of this white milky looking liquid on a rag and wiped it across the violin and it was like watching one of those old Tarn-X comercials...the color and grain depth just jumped out as if it were new...unbelievable. A light bulb went off in my head as soon as I saw it and I asked him for a small sample to use on my 91 735iL's wood trim. Sure enough, it covered the swirl marks and brought back a great shine to it.

It contains carnuba wax and cleaners...and puts a nice shine & finish on the surface when it dries.

Here's a pic of the bottle:



And here's a pic of the shine that resulted...if you've seen any older e34 or e32 ctr console that is completely dull with no shine at all...that is what the ctr console used to look like on my 91 735iL...in the pic below you can see the reflection of surrounding light gray leather surfaces and even the sky is reflected near the gear shift handle because the sunroof was open when the pic was taken.
