Leatherique

Has anyone used this product to restore their interior? Thoughts or other suggestions?

 

I've used this on my Ferrari california Cuoio interior with excellent results. Results In a very rich and lustrous leather! Highly recommended.

Is it good for older cars where leather maybe faded with some cracks?

 

Check out the 308/328 section. There's a lot of info there.

 

Ok thanks.

 

As I recently suggested on the other forum, Leatherique is a pretty cool product, works excellent. I suggested Allan use it on that Andretti car, just a very samll area of wear.
When I get my Jarama back, I will use it.

Won't bring back the leather color that is missing BUT will rejuvinate what is there usually making any worn areas much less noticable....
Personally, I love patina.

 

Thanks! Im looking to use it on a large area, basicly an entire interior including seats. Do they make any product that does return color?

 

Visit their site. I remember seeing many color sample for rejuvenating.

Thinking about it, those colors they have on the site may fill in patches of missing color. Hmmm.
Then I would be very interested for their red, my Jarama's color. Think I may have to start exploring further into all their product.

And yes, great to use to rejuvenate the entire leather.
Good luck and please post some before and after pictures.

 

Would this be for the red interior in the ex-Andretti 1987 Countach QV FI ZA9CA05A4HLA12196??

 

Sounds good. I will research aswell.

 

There is some good info here:

Brad,
Please post before and after pics of the Andretti Countach's interior. I would like to see the difference this product makes.

Congrats on the car by the way.

 

Allan? You mean Allan Fiedler? This guy below?

That's funny Peter because Bradjohnston already knows you suggested it in the other forum

 

LOL...is that an original "Members Only" Jacket??

 

Good one Antonio. Well, I guess everyone but "Brad" knows that everyone knows.

"The sands of time grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine" my friend.

"Best way to correct this?" by Allan-Herbie on L-Power: "I have this worn area on my Countach interior. Any suggestions on the best way to make it presentable? The interior is in good shape ( for a 25yr old car). I dont think I want to redo the interior just somehow clean up and touch up the areas where you can see some wear?"

Now this thread.

Sometimes its hard to keep track.

 

Joe,

There was a guy I knew in Brooklyn, that told more stories than Walt Disney. In 2010, he was still wearing a "Members Only" Jacket. I guess no one gave him the memo, that he was the only member left lol.

Maybe there is a link between that jacket and storytelling.

 

No, its a common Ferrari jacket.

But that's the face of someone who is facing a serious libel suit that even bankruptcy and family members support will not prevent from making its mark. Sooner or later, "you reap what you sow".

Clearly a career punk. You'll notice the close attendance in the latter 2 threads of "Bradjohnston".

oooookkkkkay.... so Leatherique. I used it and loved the result. It cleans, shines and conditions and does seem to make the leather "younger" with very small lines disappearing BUT it will not replace color that isn't there.

 

Antonio:

I wanted to say that I have the deepest respect for the investigative skills & resources you have commandeered over the years, I tip my hat to you and your like in the line of duty in the quest for truth.

Talk to you soon, and rest assured we will dig out yet another "new" Countach.

 

Ken, you used it the right way, simply to enhance good leather.

But to use Leatherique to "restore" an entire dry & cracked interior is the cheapskate way to rectify a car's poor leather (which has far more wrinkles than its odometer suggests it should). If you see a Countach driver with a red butt, you'll be looking at the results of restoration on a shoestring budget.

 

Youll need to revamp your detective skills. LOL

 

Sure.

 

There is no such thing as "magic leather rejuvenation in a can". Once leather has dried and cracked there is no way to repair the damage to the fiber of the material. Regarding Leatherique products the "rejuvinator" oil will aid the flexibility of old leather. But so will Lexol, Connally hide food, Neatsfoot oil, Ziano Brothers, saddle soap etc. As for any surface applied leather colorant, from my perspective, they all look "painted". They never have the look or feel of vat dyed leather or even a good surface dyed material.

 

Thank you.

 

Brad, (or Allan): take new leather, that's the best way. May be you can keep some of the old one: you can ask for a custom leather color to match the old one color, that's possible and i did it.

If you are Allan, you are spending a lot of money at Evans shop: add some others and redo interiors in bad shape.
