RodyBMW,

Can you buy Autoglym products in the US? If not buy it via the net. They do a great leather cleaner which will keep the matte look of the leather. It comes in a pump action type bottle and looks like a thick syrup when sprayed onto the leather. Just use a clean cloth to wipe it over, into and off the leather. The results are superb.

I used it clean an Alfa 156 leather interior with. This car had been used by one of my managers for 3 years and he had put some kind of high shine spray cleaner on the seats before handing it back when he was given a new car. I decided to give the car a thorough detail before selling it to raise its price. The interior came up like new with the Autoglym leather cleaner. The seats were returned to their original as new matte finish. I sold it to a motor dealer and he offered me a job as his valeter but I politely declined :D

I've used it on my E60 a couple of times with great results but have to say that I have never experienced the leather in a BMW going shiny on me. Either I don't keep the cars long enough for it to happen or I don't slide around enough on the seats to cause the wear.

Honestly, I don't know if alchol had done a great job to my previous Bimmer (or maybe it just sits too much in the garage!!!), there wasn't much crack or faded color after few years of driving....

I wasn't going to believe the guy to tell me to do this too, but his explaination is: If it's not going to harm your skin, it's not going to harm the leather seats... :unsure: I'm not too sure abt that too.... :unsure:

This is my only photo that has the seats.... This picture was take for the car w/ about 4+ years of age.... I think they are not too bad for this kind of age... :P

The seats look great!!!! :thumbsup:

the seats look cool :cool:...but your mats <_< :whistle:. and looks like there is one hot chick on the tv screen :wow:!

alohalc,
You have very sharp chick-hunting eyes :wow:

gf366,

The interior looks clean except the floor mat. Time to change for a new one, but I guess you're still in love the the M symbol :wub:

Actually the car was sold already, that picture was taken almost right before I sold my car!

I think the seats are still in very good condition, but I think the leather for my M Roadster was a different leather from my E60, right? Is that the reason its easier to maintain?

Alohalc, you do definitely have good eyes, I was playing a DVD, it's a concert from a band called "Twins", very famous in Hong Kong/ China... :D

oh, not only that. girls like to go shopping w/me because i spot the "sale" signs a lot better than them :wow: :lol:! btw, chick-hunting eyes = pervert, right <_< :whistle:?

only a concert <_<? or something else you don't want to tell us :shifty: :whistle:.
