I had time to clean and condition my seats today and though i'd post my results so far. My car is a 95 BMW m3 with black leather.



Fist i vaccumed the seats off getting all/most of the dirt and dust out of the creases. Then mixed up the Connolly cleaner in a bucket 1 part cleaner 12 parts water. This is a very lush and lavish soap and very slippery. I threw a MF towel in the solution and squeezed it out so that is was just a little more then damp. I wiped the seats good making sure i covered everything and whiped out all the crevases. All the time rinsing the towel in the cleaning solution. When i was done the water was black and the leather looked clean.



Next the directions said to follow the same directions as with the cleaner only this time use fresh clean water and a clean towel. This was to remove any residue left by the cleaner on the leather. I did this and allowed to dry.



Now it's time to apply the conditioner. It was a little difficult for me to apply but maybe i was appling too much? It really cloged up the Mf applicator i was useing and when this happend the product was a little tricky to spread. As far as white residue yes there is some if you try and cake it on. I'm letting the conditioner sit over night. Tomorrow i'm going to buff it out and see how it looks and feels. Sorry no final verdict yet.



Here are two pics of the leather after i cleaned it Note: Not conditioned I'll post more pics tomorrow when i'm done. I removed the head rests so the seat look a little funny :)

I don't think the look needs to change! The seats look great. They have a nice sheen to them...not too shiny, not too matte.
