Doors should be fine but I don't know about the dash. Can anyone answer this?
You won't really need anything to apply Leatherique other than your hand to apply the Rejuvinator Oil and some soft terry cloths for cleaning with the Prestine Clean.
Don't forget to let the Rejuvinator Oil sit out in the sun for the entire day and then clean off with the Prestine Clean.
It took just about a week for me to receive my order once I placed it.

I love gettin rid of the Shiney type leather IMO Meguiars Detailer Line Leather Cleaner and Conditioner works great on doing that but those Leatherique results are awsome.

I know this thread is for Leatherique..... but has anyone out there used Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner? Is Leatherique much better?
I now use Lexol for all of my cars.... and am quite satisfied with the results....
I usually heat up my seat (if it's not heated seat - like back seat - I use a hair dryer :p ), then apply the Lexol Cleaner and massage the seat a little bit.... for there is a dirt spot on the leather, I use toothbrush or shoebrush (not the hard one, though) until it's clean.... and then I apply the Lexol Conditioner right away (just apply and rub it with a damp cloth / paper towel)...
I don't consider myself as an expert..... so would like to know the Leatherique will give me much better results for the same effort. And would like to know whether I should wait (i.e. 24 hours) after applying the cleaner...
Thanks for any advice.

2002 S500
I am a new user to Leatherique. Last week I applied the RO and PC to the leather and MB-Tex (dash and door panels) on my 2002 S500. It worked well but on the MB-Tex on the driver's door panel I have found a glue-like sticky substance appearing. It seems that the top surface was actually peeling and the glue substance remaining. There is a slight white haze on a portion of the panel. The rest of the MB-Tex is unaffected. What is this and how do I fix it? I plan to apply some conditioner from Zymol. I'm not sure whether to use the leather conditioner or the Vinyl conditioner since MB-Tex is synthetic leather.
Thanks for any help.

What to do
Sticky residue is the old treatment coming to the surface. To Fix the problem, IVORY BAR SOAP and WARM WATER. I formulated Prestine Clean for MB TEX. The Rejuvinato Oil is to heavy for the TEX.
Try the BAR SOAP it works. Next time put the Prestine Clean ina Spray bottle and MIST it on the TEX area then wipe.

Shiney seats are a good thing to some folks. IMHO if you want a SHINY LEATHER SEAT WAX IT! But that is another story.

2002 S500
Thank you George. I will try the Ivory bar soap. Its amazing that the RO would cause the old treatment to come to the surface. I was afraid to continue to work in the area for fear that I might be damaging the MB-Tex. Is the Ivory soap to remove the sticky substance or to remove the white haze? What will the Ivory soap do that PC will not do? Is MB-Tex a solid synthetic leather or is it layered? It seems that with the PC, I am removing a layer of the Tex.
I used the tip offered on your website and used a spray bottle. But I found it hard to control the spray. I got RO and PC all over the place including the wood trim which does not absorb the liquid. I also got it on my windows and had a hard time removing the smear. I might have over done it. I used 16 ounces of the RO and 16 ounces of the PC on one application on my S500. Is this overdoing it?
How does Leatherique compare to Zymol?

PC is a lot stronger and would do the same, BUT the old treatment is in the way. You are not removing the anything that will degrade the MB-TEX. To get the OVERSPRAY off glass just use IPA and wipe it off. Nice part is that there is notthing that can be runied with the overspray. the rubber seals will get a little help with being flexable and the wood and metal will not be harmed.
As far as Zymol just surfice to say that we are the product of choice in more of the Exotic car markets. They (Zymol) have a wonderful exterior product but did you know that some of there dealers are Carryning our Line for the leather.
