Hi guys,
I've got a 1985 745i turbo with the buffalo leather interior. It's in
pretty good shape (no tears, etc), is slightly soiled/spotted and on
the dry side. I've had Leatherique, Connely's Hide food and Lexol
recommended and wondering what experience is out there with this
particular kind of leather ? At a friend's recommendation I tried
plain saddle soap on a dirty door handle area and it got it clean but
darkened the leather quite a bit, but I think most of these other
products will likely darken it also.
Suggestions ?
Thanks,
745i fan

The petrolium based ones will darken it. I'd use leatherique and nothing
else. Spot test it to be sure.
Anything is going to darken it a bit but in my experience leatherique
darkens it the least.
