If your going for black with brown, go with the darker of the browns. That way when you use the BMW leather cleaner with conditioner it will not taint your leather color.

That, my friend, is humor at its best...!

I say go transparent. Regardless of the color you will clean everyday (well I do).

It's funny, I always get caught by the same people when i clean my car... No matter where I go.

STOP FOLLOWING ME! AND YES, I DO ALWAYS CLEAN MY CAR!.................................... (I needed that. I'm good now)
