What a coincidence! I just applied about a ton of this to my other car ('66 Rolls-Royce) and I've been similarly impressed. I was thinking of trying Color-Plus (which someone on alt.autos.porsche mentioned recently), but decided to stick with Leatherique since it's recommended by the RROC. My car sat for about 7 years before I got it, and I'm only up to the 2nd application but it's feeling great. The part I dread is the sanding and dyeing I've got ahead of me, since I'm changing the color from white to black. There's a LOT of leather in a Rolls-Royce - the freaking seats are like sofas!

OK Guys!

Where do you get this "Miracle" leather cleaner for the rest of us to try some?

I did this on my '85. I did not get THAT great of results, still better than before. I think the key is to use the sun and heat so the "oil" will be absorbed. I found similiar results using Lexol.

I must admit, my leather is hard. Apparently my '85s leather was painted over using laquer. Apparently this was an automotive phase during these years. I think I will be doing the sanding/dyeing when I get some $.

To their credit, the leatherique has cleaned my leather VERY well if not soften it.

If you will rap the seats in plastic it will increase the softening process.I needed at least 3 applications...much better than lexol or hide food or saddle soap etc...the more humid not direct sun the better job clean after each application of rejuvinator oil with their cleanser...boy are they soft...regards jer

Hey nhomyak
Ypu can strip that lacquer off your seats with thinner. That is a common auction and used car lot trick to tart the car up and make it look purty for little money. Of course they spend a fortune on armorall also to hide the crummy condition of the rubber and vinyl parts.

Strip it and use Lexol or one of the leather softeners and you will be in business!
