I am wanting to give my full leather interior the Lexol treatment. Now this may sound stupid, but which parts are covered in leather? I know the seats and the binnacle over the guages... What about the rest of the dash, doors, and rear panels?

TIA

 

i had the exact same question some time ago, there is a whole thread, search under "leather parts" in the 996 forum. i don't know how to cut and paste the thread. in the meantime, here is the key link: http://www.geocities.com/porsche_interior/

 

The order guides contain a few pages that include interior diagrams & descriptions, which you can match to the descriptions of the various leather interior options. I believe Suncoast Porsche has them posted on their site. I know of one error--full leather interior does not include the steering wheel airbag cover in leather.

 

i treated my dash last summer with a well-known leather preservative for automobile interiors, and within days the the leather bubbled after exposure to heat/sun, etc. i had to replace the shroud or "binnacle" as you call it. the cost was north of $800!

tread cafefully...

 

which one!

 

starts with "m" ends with "s"

it believe it was a case where the learther went dry for too long. once to sun and heat took it's toll the dash began to gather and shink, causing bubbles.

 

No doubt... which "well-known leather preservative for automobile interiors"? Lexol seems to have a pretty good rep and I have been using it for years in my daily drivers with no problems. However, this is my first Porsche with full leather and I would rather avoid any hassles.

 

Zaino has an excellent reputation for car car proucts, does this apply to their lether treatments as well?

 

lether?? obviously it should read leather
