Treatment for Buffalo Leather on 745i turbo
Hi guys,
I've got a 1985 745i turbo with the buffalo leather interior. It's in pretty good shape (no tears, etc), is slightly soiled/spotted and on the dry side. I've had Leatherique, Connely's Hide food and Lexol recommended and wondering what experience is out there with this particular kind of leather ? At a friend's recommendation I tried plain saddle soap on a dirty door handle area and it got it clean but darkened the leather quite a bit, but I think most of these other products will likely darken it also. Suggestions ? Thanks, 745i fan |

The petrolium based ones will darken it. I'd use leatherique and nothing else. Spot test it to be sure. Anything is going to darken it a bit but in my experience leatherique darkens it the least. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
