Optimum Protectant. It helps maintain the urethane coating on my Dakota leather.

303 aerospace is another one for urethane "top coated" automotive leather.

New to me F90 M5. I ordered a Colourlock kit with the brush, mild cleaner, and treatment.

Took a bit over an hour to do the entire interior, cleaning followed by treatment.
In detailing time, not long at all. There was a tiny bit of grime in the seams, but overall the interior was in very good condition.

After treatment, I love the slightly glossy matte (oxymoron?) look that the leather has. I'm sure the extra soft feeling is all in my head, but I swear the leather feels more comfortable.

The BMW foam leather cleaner works really well. I picked up a new Z4 about a week ago with the Ivory White interior. There was a black smudge on the drivers door armrest and center console lid already (dealer didn’t do the greatest cleaning/prep job on the interior). Came right off with the foam.

Ordered that last week! My last car had red/black seats so I didn't bother, but my new one is Silverstone/black so I don't have a choice. I hope it's a quick job because I'll admit I'm too lazy to spend hours on this stuff

As long as your interior is clean now it shouldn’t be very time consuming. Prep work is always the longest.

My Colourlock has been stuck in Customs since Monday. WTF! I'm driving around with no protection on my Silverstone seats. Geez.

The color lock protector says do not use on perforated leather. Aren’t our carbon buckets perforated leather? All of those tiny holes?

Even the standard seats have perforations for the ventilation option. I ordered the leather shield, which states not to use it on porous leather, but it is shown under the section "Recommended products for cleaning perforated leather seats" so I assume I'm good.

Interesting. Guess I’ll take their word for it.

Anybody have any idea how long shipping is from colourlock? Just ordered it but I see it comes all the way from Germany.

Also, anybody have like a basic “how to” for using this stuff? I ordered all of the products from the link someone posted on page 1 but am unsure as which to use in what order and how.

According to Colourlock support, you should use the leather shield when the car is new, and for the first 2 - 3 years. After that, you can switch to the leather protector. As for the leather cleaners, I bought mild (comes with new leather care kit) since I don't have kids and don't plan to let anyone drink coffee in the car! Otherwise I'd have bought the strong cleaner. I'll probably order the cleaning brush too.

Just realized I didn't answer your first question. I ordered mine from Colourlock Germany on May 14 and received it on June 9, which is just under 4 weeks. But 2.5 weeks of that was the parcel being stuck in customs!
