:help: Has anyone used a dye of some sort to make those cracks in the leather not so obvious or know of any thing else?

If I want to pick up something to clean and protect my leather seats, but I don't want everything to look shinny, do they have a product for this, especially for the Nappa leather?

Great stuff. In no way alters the existing appearance aside from making it look newer. Zero gloss effecct. They specialize in service for BMW customers and honor BMW CCA. Call them and they will bend over backwards to get you answers to your questions.

I've barely cracked 1800mi, and I'm seeing those notorious 'folds' before the crack appears in later months. . .I'm going to have to start conditioning frequently.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the nappa; the smell and feel of it. . .but I sometimes wish I coulda gotten the M seats, with leatherette. You could put a leatherette seat on top of an A bomb, and the seat would have no wear after the explosion. The nappa wears soooooooooo quick, then becomes shiny and :eek2: used :eek2: looking. . .ugh.

I usually do mine about once a month and it doesn't take much for coverage. I use a spray bottle on "fine spray" and rub it in with my hands vice using a cloth. It takes maybe an ouce of product once you have it mastered.
