Leather Care

Post by Turks » Fri Dec 09, 2016 6:24 am

I have Soft Black Nappa Leather in both of my cars. The leather in the X5 is significantly more shiny than that in the M5. Of course it is much older, but I'm sure that the reason is actually taking the X5 for Valet and they are using cheap aerosol products which are leaving a film or coating on the leather.

How can I cut this back to the original? What are the best products out there for cutting through the film and dirt leaving me with a surface that is ready for a good conditioner (also need advice on products) and protector (matte)?


Thanks,
Turks.
