    Whit has previously posted pictures of what his leatherique job looked like with the passage of time. It looked great in the beginning but didn't hold up. He was satisfied with the oil and cleaner but but didn't recommend the repair stuff. Whit--time to post again.

    Umm "Here (below) are the seats one year later."
    Different colored seats, interior panels, and carpet....?
    This looks like BS to me.

    In this months Roundel, Mark Jon Calabrese's column which is covering his E30 M3 Warsteiner restoration, is about him using Leatherique to restore the seats. Was a nice little write up.

    That's just the difference in the light available for the photograph. The first photo was taken late in the day with no flash. The second was taken towards mid-day with a flash.
