Leather Seat Refresh
 
Well, it's no turbo or s52 swap, but this is what I've been doing for the last couple of days... Refinishing the seats in my coupe...

Before;

And repairing the seats in my compact...

I still have to re-finish the seats in the ti, but I'm waiting on more supplies...

Looks awesome! What did you use? Leatherique?

I bought some leatherique, but only the rejuvinator. The finishing product is;

Here is their website;

I saw a thread on e46fanatics and I was impressed with the results. You can see how well it worked... One of the side bolsters was completely worn down to the suede, no finish left. Like this, but not actually worn through;

Looks like this now;

Needless to say, I'm thrilled with how they turned out...

Holy snapple! That's amazing! This is going to be really useful now that I have leather seats.

Thanks for all the great feedback!
