Leather Repair - 1996 M3

Just bought my 2nd M3 (1996 M3 w/129k for 5 grand.) -Boston Green w/ Sand interior (yucky leather color looks almost orange)



I bought it for cheap because the leather and paint are pretty beat up- Major tears in the leather, fading -and I don't think it has been cleaned in a decade.

(I will be posting pics tomorrow, these two were the sellers and make it look not as bad as it actually is.) You will pee your self at the holograms and swirls the last guy left on the hood -it looks like the Fox Searchlight logo in motion.



I have done some leather repair on my last M3 -using the Leather World system. It was ok but since everyone goes ape-sh*t over the leatheriqe cleaners I'm curious to know if anyone has worked with their dyes and repair materials as well. ??



To clean the leather I will be buying the leatherique (pretty much out of curiosity at this point, as it seems it's worth it's weight in gold according to some members on this board)



ok sum it up- Leatherique for repair and re-dye or Leather Magic or _____fill in your favorite____

I'd call the Leatherique people and see what they recommend. If you're going to go with their dyes then it's probably best to follow their steps.
 
I am going with their cleaner and oil combo that is everyone seems to like.



I am interested in knowing who has used their actual repair and re-finishing system.



JUST POSTED PICS IN CAR AND DRIVER SECTION !!
