My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
Today I washed my car, gave it a quick spray of Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearls, just a quick detail on the outside. But it was nice and sunny so I thought it would be a good day to pull out my Leatherique and condition the seats up. I haven't done it in about 10 months and the leather was starting to show signs of build up due to Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditoner.
So I lubed them up, let them bask the south texas sun for a few hours, then I went to hit them up with the pristine clean. While cleaning the seats, I read on the bottle "Maintenance, detailing and after Rejuvenator Oil". I don't know why, but I never thought to use this stuff as my regular leather cleaner. So after finishing up the seats, I proceeded to use it on the steering wheel. Boy oh boy did that work
The white cotton towel I was using turned black by the time I was done. I went over it about 5x with the pristine clean. Left my steering wheel with a great natural, satin leather look. I couldn't have asked for better results. I had tried using soap and water on it before, but this stuff blows that out of the water
@ pun. I used it on the e-brake handle and same results, beautiful natural leather look with no shine at all.
So in conclusion, I think this is going to be my permanent regular leather cleaner for a while now. I just have not been impressed by that Meg's cleaner/conditioner; left the seats all slippery :thumbsdown:
Pics will be up later

I just finished using the rejuvinator and the prestine clean on the weekend and had suprisingly good results. I let the rejuvinator sit for 24hrs and then went at it with the prestine clean, I ended up getting buckets and buckets of very dirty water, I was amazed at how much dirt and grime came out of the seats. I regularly clean my car and had thought my seats were pretty clean, boy was I wrong. I then finshed up by apply some 303 aerospace prtectant on it and it turned out great.
