Thumbs up Leather restoration before/after

I was detailing my 951 and wanted to give big props to the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! I highly recommend it.

How it was:


After the Magic Eraser:


Meguiar's Leather Spray

Thomas, those seats are disgusting get some recaro racing seats and I will dispose the black leather seats for you free of charge.






Great looking seats, you hit the jackpot

Very nice seats there. Good of Lart to offer up his disposal service for free Not to bag on the Maguires stuff but does the sheen tone down a bit after it dries? I prefer a more satin look on leather myself. I use a product my wife found called Leather CPR, great cleaner with no solvents; actually works as well or better than old school saddle soap that I've used for years.

Later this winter, I'll be cleaning conditioning and possibly dyeing my leather with the products from http://www.leatherique.com which has received good reviews here and elsewhere.

Appreciate the offer Lart! But it's easier for me to tear them apart and throw them in the trash, less hassle.

KuHL 951 - the seats were very dry so I went overboard with the Meguirs. A matty (satin) look can be achieved with MUCH MUCH MUCH less product. I wanted to give the seats a thorough conditioning.

I'm not trying to be a downer as the seats look great in the last photo but using the carpet as a reference to what should be black, its impossible to draw any conclusions from these pictures unless you dyed the carpet too.
