Absolutely beautiful. And 3 pedals on the floor to boot. I KinDig it.

I'll buy lunch tomorrow if you can do the same thing to my 6MT. In all seriousness I did mine a while back, and was not impressed. Now that I realize I need to saturate the leather I'll do it properly next time. Thank you for the primer Jashan.

Thanks! Probably the most respectable compliment I've had on forums thus far! You need to buy a brush that doesn't have hard bristles and that should remove more dirt than a microfiber towel can. Works like a charm. Should've seen the lotion was white and after I was done with the arm rest it was brown and grimy. Now everything looks mint! I'll get home and let you know the product I used

Used griots garage leather conditioner

I like my leather with the factory matte finish to it. I used this on many cars with amazing results.

Thanks I might give this a try! I don't like shine either or greasy. I'm happy with mine as well it gives it a glow without it being shiny or oily

My leather is so soft after letting this soak in for two days. I wish I could have let this stuff soak in for a week. I put it on every leather surface in the car.

So what do you do? Do you clean and wipe it first? Then reapply it and leave it in??

You soak everything in the oil for as long as possible. The oil gets deap into the leather and pulls all of the crap out of the seat. Then you use the cleaner to clean it all off. Some people leave it on there interior for six months in the winter.

Yeah, leatherique is great. For whatever reason tho I’ve had the most mediocre results with the Dakota leather in the e90. Seemed to have greater effects on my e46 Napa And e36 leather. Not sure why?

Anyway, great product overall.

It's not "wrapped" it's stitched on

Wait, you stitched the suede on!? I seem to recall you mentioning good ‘ol 3M spray adhesive but not stitching

Dang son. Very cool.

[unrulyteach]

Not bad after that long

Yes I used the 3M as well for the flat portion of the trim however after over lapping it. I stitched the suede to tighten it around the trim. There are absolutely no wrinkles what so ever. I'm super happy with it. Just have to make sure I don't eat in my car and end up spilling anything lol

Yeah I can’t imagine Big Mac sauce or a dirty, creamy old Frappuccino would be very easy to remove from that suede.

Come to think about it, no fucking in there either!

Keep it clean

I believe the E9X have urethane coated leather seats, which might explain why it is less effective.
