I would be interested in this as well. How many have compared the Nivea product to a product like leatherique which has been proven to work well.

I'm not trying to debunk the product but something I see often from ''detailers" is ways to find shortcut products which provide impressive short term gains but may not be good in the long term. A good example is the caustic cleaners used to clean wheels and wheel wells, many of the products will do an incredible job of cleaning the areas but after repeated use the surfaces break down far more rapidly than a surface that was cleaned with a milder product. Most car owners don't keep cars long enough to see this impact but I know that's not true on the 928 forum. Hopefully it's not the case but be careful with what you use.

 

So now that a few more people have tried it, I'll ask again in another way: What are you comparing this to? It's great that you like the results, but what were you using before, and is this better? For instance I currently have Glipstone and Color Plus Soffener, the latter of which people have been raving about. Why should I use this German Nivea instead? Or should I not bother?

 

I tried Glipstone about a year ago. It produced little noticeable difference in the suppleness of the leather. The leather looked better, but didn't feel much better. I tried Nivea late last week. The leather both looked and felt better afterwards. However, Nivea may have benefited from some improvement made by Glipstone. So, I cannot say for sure that Nivea is better than Glipstone, but I believe it is.

I also like the smell of Nivea better than Glipstone. Nivea leaves the interior with a clean smell -- a smell that doesn't draw attention to the seats. Glipstone has a pleasing smell, but one that screams "the seats were just treated". I prefer the clean smell that doesn't draw attention to itself. YMMV.

 

Probably the opposite is true here, this is a high end cosmetic with purified base selected to penetrate human skin. I'm not digging the fragrance though.

 

Oh yeah. My dark blue seats were basically white.

 

I have used leatherique in the past, and I think I got better results with the Nivea. But I did not do the thing with leatherique where you cover it with plastic and leave it sitting in the sun. With the Nivea you don't need to do that because it does not really dry out or evaporate in the same way. So perhaps if you did the thing with the plastic and leatherique you would get the same or better results. I sure like the leatherique smell better.

 

After one day the seat actually looks better and feels softer. The result is better than I experienced with leatherique.
I am quite surprised actually.

Mine came last night from Amazon, will try it out over the weekend

 

Awesome..thanks.

I have like 5lbs of this ****.

 

I'm a Griot's Garage Guy and I just ordered a tub of the German version. I hear it's good for your hands & face too!

 

A can of this arrived today and I decided to try it on my Cayenne's black interior. I started on the passenger seat and noticed it plugged up all the perforated holes!
Decided not to risk leaving it on overnight and spent a good hour with a toothbrush clearing out all the white dots.
Are you guys applying this stuff when the interior is warm or does it just disappear after day or two?

 

George -- You must not have read the instructions from the article linked in the original post. You're supposed to apply the cream with a cloth to the non-perforated part of your interior and then used the Nivea-soaked cloth to wipe down the perforated parts.

 

Thanks!
I missed that part, I was expecting it to absorb in.

 

George, I just slothered onto the 928 seats. Gonna put a space heater in the cockpit for a day to warm it all up. it should eventually absorb

 

If you're not going to drive it for a day or two, apply it then put some saran wrap over the treated sections. This works great with Joanne's Soffener. Leave in the sun too (if you're in SoCal) this time of year.
