Default Nivea Results

Anyone have any long-term result on using the Nevia creme on the leather?

i used it on my G37 with perforated leather sport seats, then spent an hour getting it out of all the little holes.


DON'T use on "holey" seats - the Nivea is too thick and clogs the holes.

Used it on my Saab 900 Aero (SPG) MY88 where some of the leather had gone harder. Amazing results. Leather is sifter. No adverse issues. Seems to do the job as posted. Also used it on the 928 rar seats and returned the leather to a more supple feel. So far, so good.

Cheers

I applied it to the perforated leather in the Mercedes, and cheerfully left the creme in the holes - I figure that is a great way to get it absorbed into the leather. It disappeared within a day.

Results in the Mercedes appears to be very good. Not so much in the 90GT - I think that a previous owner had "dyed" the leather with one of the lacquer color coatings, which reportedly greatly slows or stops absorption of a leather treatment...

The low mile red car soaks up the nivea every time I apply it. And I do believe it makes a difference. Its subtle.

Where can we buy the euro version of Nivea?

My understanding is that it contains moisturizing ingredients not present in the US formula.

It contains Lanolin among other ingredients that the US version lacks, and it DOES NOT have mineral oil, Petrolatum and other bad petroleum products that the US version has. I usually pick up a jar or two each time I am over in Germany. It is an excellent skin lotion as well, in addition to softening leather

I would offer to pick up a few extra next time I am there but by the time I mail them the cost would be about the same as buying it online here. Cheapest I have seen online here was 8-10 USD. About 3 Euros in Germany.

Cheers!

Ordered mine of Amazon - just make sure it is the German version.
Might try it on the Merc. seats.

As I wrote somewhere, Nivea must be used once , when you start a project and you found the leather toasted by the sun.
Nivea will soften up the leather and will nurish it.
After the leather became soft use proper products : nivea emmollient will ruin leather seams , "widen" the leather and leather starts to make folds....use Nivea often and you will find not only folds, but enough leather on driver's seat to re-upholster a 2 seater sofa.

there are a billion of product on the net for a correct car leather maintainance .after the first coat of Nivea use them.

usually Young Women using Nivea every day , at 50 looks like these:

Randy--

Add a tin to your next Amazon order. They stock the German version in the US warehouses. Mine was here in a couple days, with free Prime shipping.

That said... I bought it when the group first posted the benefits. At this point I have three new different miracle leather treatment products to try. Still in the bin. I should be home in May long enough to get my winter car-care project list at least started. The local airport will be closed for most of May for repaving runways. Good excuse to stay home and play.

OK, thanks. Does it specify it is the euro formula?
