people with coral red leather

blueaudi18 · 10-30-2007, 04:54 PM

hello...i have an aw with cr leather comming in a month.

for those that have the cr leather for more than a year now...how is it holding up? does it get shinny from constant use..?

maybe i should ask the e46 people with imola red interiors in the m3...since i dont think anyone had there car long enough for that to happen...

I've had mine since May. Only time I notice a difference is which products I use to clean it. If I use Zaino it stays nice deep red but I tried using Aerospace protectant it became more shinny. I went back to Zaino. Looks great still! and LOVE the color!

Have had mine since April. I only use Lexol on it. I have not noticed any apreciable change in color. However, I guess i would actually have to compare it with a new CR interior to see if there really is any kind of change.

hope it doesnt get tacky looking in like 3 years... i am the type of person that get really lazy to clean the car once the newness feel is gone.

i guess i have to look at those product u guess are using...never heard of those brand...only thing i know is the stuff like armerol or eagle1 products from autozone....

I,ve used nothing but Lexol on on my cars with leather interior and couldnt be happier.

The idea is to keep the 'newness' feel as long as possible

Had mine since april and only zaino, still looks and smells brand new!

It looks best when combined with a Montego Blue exterior

I've cleaned it with Lexol once or twice, and it looks the same as it did when I got it...about 7 months ago.

Taken with iphone camera....car is 11 months old...I still love the red.
Like others have stated, keeping it clean/moist deepens the red more than the leather being dry...
