    I want to share this product I recently used in my Testarossa
    I have used several brands (Griots, Connolly, Mother’s) and the person who dyed the seats recommended it to me
    It is called Leather honey, I applied with my hands everywhere (seats, dash, interior roof, steering wheel etc etc) let it sit for a hours on a hot day with the windows up to increase the temperature and then wipe the excess with a microfiber cloth. The results are amazing!!! I will post pictures on a similar thread on the TR forum later today
    The person who recommended it to me said the TR leather is untreated and the leather absorbs the product (no polymer coat)
    Does anybody know when Ferrari begin treating its interiors? I want to know if the product is suited for my 2003 360 or it will just sit there
    Thanks

    This was a big debate in a previous thread.
    You may find treatments like this useful for your dash. But the idea was, if you put a drop of water on your seats and it just sits there, then it’s unlikely that treatments will do anything other than clean them.

    On another note, whomever owned my car previously used something on the leather, and th car still smells great years later. That in itself would be worth doing if I knew what they used.

    I believe most of the leather seats have a coat on them, otherwise they would be very prone to stains. On the other hand people swear by products like Leatherique, Connolly, lexol, etc.
    I honestly don’t know the truth about it, but I Can for sure tell the difference between a car that has been cared properly and a car that has not.
    Whatever the real truth behind it is, I will post pictures of how my seats look right now and it looks amazing

    360 leather is aniline (vat dyed) protected and made more uniform in color by a water based top coat (dye). The dye is permeable so leather conditioners are effective in treating. I just had mine redyed and the results were fantastic.
