Got a 04 M3 and I have been using a wet cloth up to now to clean it, but the driver's side seat is starting to show some wear and I want to start cleaning and conditioning.

I want a product that will keep the "dull look" on my leather, I DO NOT want anything that will make the finish SHINY!

I have heard good things about both products, but looking at the Leatherz page pics using Spinneybeck, the finish looks pretty wet.


Comments, pics of both?

If you have an 04, and are using a wet cloth only to clean the seats, and are starting to show wear, do yourself a favor and use any conditioner.cleaner instead.
That said, I for one let some leather seats go too far and had to replace the covers. I will never do that again.
I have tried many leather products, (in an effort to save my seats and susequently clean up the used replacements) and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Leatherique is the best product.
When you use it, you in effect condition the leather first (Leatherique) and then clean it (Pristine Clean). You will not have a glossy surface when done.

I love the Z-9 and Z-10 combination from Zaino. The seats are clean, conditioned and smell like new leather again. I am a relative noob and have only used a couple of products, including Megs cleaner and condition, but I don't think I will deviate from the Zaino interior Z-9/Z-10 combo.

I've used both Leatherique on my former 1997 328i and Spinneybeck on my current 2004 MINI Cooper.

Unless it's been totally trashed, newer leather doesn't really need the intensive treatment of Leatherique. Light surface cleaning with a damp cloth and treatment with Spinneybeck every few months should be all you need.

Spinneybeck absorbs readily into the MINI's seats and leaves a matte finish.
