restoring leather shine

**third_shift|studios** · 07-18-2007, 06:01 AM

whoever owned this car before me never heard of leather conditioner...can any one recomend a really REALLY intense compound that will restore the luster in my leather? The doors and dash look a bit faded and the seats are kinda "flat" not shiney...i want the thing to look like someone emptied a barrel of clearcoat on the interior

Yes it is! That stuff is awesome! I lent it out to a friend and they will not give it back!

My current Camaro was the same way when I got it, real dry leather. I bought a $5 bottle of Meguiars conditioner and just conditioned them 2-3 a week for a few weeks until they softened up. I was also using the Z9 & Z10 during the same time period, but they softened up real fast. They are as good as the leather was in my old vert now

holy late responces. I ended up spending a shit load on some premium stuff called leatherique-came recommended from z06 goose

Follow the instructions on the leatherique application. It's a bit messy to apply, but at the end, you'll like the results

who asked you?

well, i'm not really pleased at all with the Leatherique stuff. I followed the managery of instructions, took 2-days to complete and I still hate the leather, and NOW THE SMELL!!!!

i aggree, the leather is softer now, but it just isn't BLACK it's almost charcoal?? But I looked up the VIN and it says i have ebony interior...i'm really pissed at the previous owner right now
