    I know the jokes you will make out of the headline. As I mentioned in my previous thread I thought it was a BS product 'cause the company is small. And I now love it.

    My 2006 F430 Spider has daytona seats. The inserts in the center of the seats were starting to "contract" or shrink, leaving a small space around the edges.

    In the past, I have used Lexol, Armorall, and Meguires leather treatments, all of which left a film and I feel ultimately caused the leather to pull.

    Now that I have used Leatherique, the centers have gone back to their original shape. I can't believe I was gonna jack up my car by using other treatments that, I feel, were doing more harm than good. The leather looks like it did the day I picked up the car with no fake "hard" sheen like I got with other treatments.

    Now I have treated my Mercedes and need to buy another bottle. It's cool to find something that works and I can trust to not do harm.

    Nice to hear.

    My F355 has perfect, original leather. I've treated it twice with leatherique in my 1.5 years of ownership, as I'm trying to keep it as nice as when I bought it. I really like the feel of the leather afterward.

    I have had passengers complain of headaches if I don't let it air out enough afterward. Even though it doesn't smell bad, something in the conditioner or cleaner seems to get to people's heads, including mine.

    Any before and after pics?

    I have been using Leathertique for a long time. It is definitely the best product out there. Too bad more people are not aware of it.

    Sorry...no pictures. The best way to describe the effect of using Leatherique vs Meguires is the difference between no hair cream and a dose of Brylcream. Most leahtre treatments leave a hard "sheen" where Leatherique makes the leather feel like new again. No phony finishes. No hardness. The leather is supple like you just took delivery of the car.

    I'm really thrilled.

    Just ordered some and I am eager to give it a try. I have used Lexol in the past but it does not feel right. I never seem to get the suppleness that I want and filmy.

    +1 on the Leatherique.

    I have used it on my seats, dash, everywhere there is leather -- putting it in a spray bottle makes apply it much easier -- even if you don't actually spray it on the leather the spray bottle makes dribbling it onto a sponge (or similar) much easier.

    Every time I remove any sort of trim I Leatherique any leather that I would not otherwise be able to reach. Have also used it on belts, a wallet / coin purse, holster, a jacket, etc. Great stuff.

    Don't let the (really) poor quality website / webstore put you off -- the product is great.
