Gentlemen:

My car is a 1960 Rolls Royce Silver cloud II, purchased in Scotland in 1972.
The car was excellent mechanically, but somewhat tired cosmetically. My
goal is to keep the car as original as possible.

Parts of the upholstery required replacement in areas of heavy wear. The
upholster could not fine leather to match the original Connolly hide and
used a close substitute. I took a piece of the worn leather, a piece of the
new, and a sample of the original which showed no wear.

I mailed the pieces to Leatherique and requested a dye that would make the
two pieces match the original sample. The cleaning instructions were
followed, and I applied the dye with a brush and was really impressed with
the ease of application and the end result.

The car was entered in the 2007 Rolls Royce Owners club Annual Meet at
Stevenson, Washington and was awarded second place in the Silver cloud I,
II, II and Phantom V Touring Class and also received a commendation for
originality

Many thanks to Leatherique for prompt, professional and quality assistance.

John Madden

thanks! Great product

Especially your recommendation to use it on leather jackets.

It gets the cigarette stale odors out of my leather jacket with ease every time I go to Vegas

I bought a complete used (rather dirty) "bone"-colored leather interior
for my 1982 BMW 528i Euro. The car had a threadbare cloth interior
(typical for euro cars) and I wanted red leather. After completely
disassembling the seats, I stripped all factory dye off using medium
fast lacquer thinner (a number of safety precautions apply). Then,
taking advantage of the leather being "naked", I liberally applied
Leatherique Rejuvinator oil...lots of it. The leather just sucked it
up and got wonderfully soft and flexible. Then, I applied red
Leatherique dye using a quality brush. Two extremely thin coats.
Hardly used any dye at all, and not a brush stroke to be seen, but the
color is rich and permanent. I've been using the car as my daily
driver for two years since finishing the project, and the seats get
prettier each year. The driver's seat is best, because it gets
polished every day. I recommend their products.

My wife went on a business trip for a week and while she was away I used your leather refinishing system to repair the cracked and worn seats in my 1990 BMW 735iL. -  WOW - I said WOW - The seats look like they are brand new. When my wife got back, she thought I had taken the car to a professional leather refinishing shop or had the leather replaced. Oh! By the way the color match was PERFECT.

                                                     Thank You,

                                                            From One Happy Customer, Kenny

Look at this ENLARGED, Great work Leroy!
 

I have just completed my pillow top seats in my 1977 Eldorado Biarritz with your products and the results were wonderful, even though the seats are almost 28 years old. I have recommended your products to my Cadillac LaSalle club here in Tucson Arizona, I will never use another type of leather product again,expect more orders from me and hopefully from The Club.

Ok I will do it this weekend.  But let me tell you what I like best about your products.  I don't have to worry about getting the cleaner on the dash or the wood or the upholstery.  It is safe for all surfaces. So if some drips a little here or there it is not a problem.  This is so much better than products that are designed to clean one thing and if you get them on something else you have to clean that off or it stains.

Hi John;

You will do fine, just follow the direction and let us know if you have a technical question.

The dye stays good for a year or two at room temperature.  After that it may settle, and will need to be stired.

Regards,

Krysti

George,

What a fantastic product you have in the new prepping agent! I will never
again waste time and money by trying to re-condition a leather interior
without it. One simple and fast removal of the old finish with Super Prep to
open the hide makes for softer leather with much less use of Rejuvenator
Oil. I used the 320 grit wet sandpaper and was shocked at how easy,
effective and completely manageable the Super Prep was to work with! I was
lucky enough to buy a 91 Audi 200 TQ whose leather was just on the brink of
becoming cardboard hard. After less than 6hrs of total labor time, the
leather has been prepped, softened (two treatments 24-48 hrs apart after
Super Prep), Pristine Cleaned, patched where necessary and color coated with
Leatherique Dye to the amazement of my friends, co-workers and family.

Leatherique=Fantastique!

Regards,

Brian R. Stauffer

I can not express how extremely satisfied I am with your products and

service.

Two weeks ago I began the process of restoring the leather interior of my

1985 Ferrari 308. In order to do this properly, I needed a custom color

match. Every call I made was greeted with a friendly customer service

representative who never seemed bothered by my questions.

My restoration is completed, and I am absolutely amazed with the results. I

took the time to prep and condition the leather prior to the dye work. My

Ferrari is now in concourse condition, and I have Leatherique to thank.

Your company has exceeded all of my expectations. You can be assured that I

will recommend your products to others.

Sincerely,

Matthew Braccili

George,

You've made a believer out of me. 

I completed the re-dye of my car seats and they truly look like new seats. The leather is smooth and soft to the touch from the Rejuvinator oil and the re-dyed leather is  - well, like new. 

This product line exceeds expectations. The various elements are very easy to use and even though I had concerns about the useage before hand, I found them very user friendly. Of course the dyeing is the really fun part and most satisfying.  I used a brush, was careful to mask off the areas to be painted, used two coats, and the actual job was fun and easy. You may remember that I was concerned about the coverage especially over the crack filler. Well, even one coat covered completely, but I followed your suggestion and put two coats on.  And speaking of crack filler, it is an amazing product. It fills the cracks and the spider webs in the leather beautifully yet, after sanding, remains soft and pliable. 

Also wanted to tell you that the color match of the dye and the old seats is excellent. Now that the seats are completed, I'm going to redye a lot of the leather interior (as you know the M6's have a lot of leather). Frankly, the color match is so good, I can butt a dyed  piece of leather up to an un-redyed piece. Pretty good, huh! 

George, you have every right to be proud of these products. They are good!  It's really fun and very satisfying to work with a product line that fulfills expectations so wonderfully. 

Best regards to you and thanks for your help and interest, 

Dick

I am very pleased to say that the only thing better than your products is your service. I ordered conditioner and cleaner on a Monday with the hope that I would receive it in time to use it on the weekend. I have mail-ordered lots of products so I knew I'd have a 50-50 chance. I was surprised and delighted to see that my products were waiting for me the next day when I got home and the shipping cost was minimal.

My leather seats are so much softer and cleaner now. I didn't even realize how badly they were in need of cleaning until after applying the conditioner. Thanks for delivering as promised. You have a truly world-class company.

Thank you David, we try for this with all our customers. George

I was a bit skeptical at first about doing my wife's BMW convertible. But
after reading your process and guide, I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad
I did!!! I did the car over a year ago and it still looks very good. And to
say I had never attempted anything like this before. The results were great.
If the process is followed and the patience is there, the end result will be
as advertised. I'm ordering again soon to restore my 87 BMW 325is leather
interior. Thanks for saving me time and money!!

Subject: Thanks
Leatherique: 

Our friend and fellow New Beetle owner Dusty Sylvester recommended some time ago that we use your oil and cleaner to preserve the leather in my wife's 1999 New Beetle, and it has worked well.  In fact, Dusty made his way from Salt Lake out here to SoCal to dye the seat centers Cyber Green with  your product before we show the car this spring and summer. 

But I'm prompted to write today about my 2002 Corvette, with its Light Oak (natural light leather) seats.  As you may know, Corvettes are famous for their performance and agility,  and infamous for the quality of their leather.  My car's interior has been treated since new with Leatherique Rejuvenating Oil and cleaned monthly with Pristine clean - in short, factory new seat in Vettes at the dealer don't look nearly as good, or feel as supple. 

Today, you gained a customer for life.  I drive 100 miles to work, leaving at 3:30 AM.  As I was getting on the freeway, I hurriedly set my coffee cup in the cup holder and accelerated, well, briskly.  Less than five seconds later I was well past 70, and the passenger seat was dripping with 20 ozs. of fresh brewed, dark Kona blend.  I was sure the seat would be hopelessly stained. 

I soaked up what I could with the one napkin I had and continued to work.  In the light of the parking garage, the seat didn't look bad, but I was still convinced it would be ruined.  When I left for home, the seat appeared, to my relief, as new.  No stains.  I used Pristine Clean when I got home, and the seats are, again, better than new.  I'll oil them to deep clean later this week. 

I'll share my good luck in getting Dusty's advice on your product at the Corvette Forum.  Maybe there won't be as much need for the replacement seats everyone seems to buy in a year or so of ownership. 

Many thanks for a great family of products.  We'll email a picture of Little Green Apple's (the New Beetle) seats when Dusty finishes.
