That or if it’s wintertime put garbage bags over the seats with the car in a 
sunny spot. When it’s done the leather will be sort of sticky, but that wipes 
off with a shop towel or microfiber cloth.

[MBZ] Leatherique

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

My 124 has leather rather than MBTex. I’m a real fan of MBTex because it wears 
like iron. I suppose leather is an upgrade.  The seats are in great shape with 
hardly any creasing and no tears. But, the leather is not soft. It’s almost 
hard. It is very smooth and I don’t want (or need to) change the color.  

I have not ever used Leatherigue.  I don’t need to do the crack filler or 
sanding or the total restoration.  I want to soften and condition the leather.  
I think a few folks on here have used it.  Is the two step package what I want?

Not sure if figs have any oil content.  Perhaps their seeds..

Absolutely!  

That would be an excellent application for Leatherique.  Do understand that it 
may darken the leather slightly if it matters.

I would cover them with Leatherique and then put them in a plastic garbage bag 
and set it in the sun for a day or two.  I'll bet they come out feeling like 
new.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique

[OK Don]

My wife has an old pair of hiking boots that are starting to dry out and
crack a bit. I was wondering if the leatherique treatment would be good for
them . . .

Elm in the side yard (west side of the house) for afternoon shade, yellow 
trumpet tree (ornamental) for the front yard.

I have a full grown ornamental fig at the corner of the house that is just 
bursting with figs. Too bad we don't have any use for them. Not sure they're 
edible anyway.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique

[Dan Penoff]

Sort of.

The R129 seats are really nice to clean, as the seat bottoms come out of the 
frames with two bolts.  Makes servicing the seat motors and other stuff a piece 
of cake.

Removing all that stuff is really only necessary on the older models, such as 
the W126, W123, etc.  The newer models don't have a lot of trim and fiddly bits 
that interfere with waxing and cleaning.

I just spent $500 for two new trees in my yard.  I could have bought them from 
Lowes or Home Despot for far less, but I went to a local nursery who is well 
known for their level of service instead.

The trees cost me about $260, and the balance was delivery and planting.  They 
planted both today.

My oldest son was home, and they went through all the care and feeding 
information with him.  When he explained that he wasn't the one who ordered the 
trees, they called me and went through the whole explanation all over again.  
They also left written instructions on the care of the trees and an assurance 
that I could call them at any time, a week, month, year, several years, 
whatever, and they would be happy to answer any questions and offer assistance 
if needed.

Needless to say, I have two nice new trees in my yard, properly planted and 
staked, and no mess or sore back to deal with.  Money well spent.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique

Dan, if you clean your seats like you detail your cars, would I be far off in 
saying that you remove and disassemble them for cleaning?

I'm still recovering from your description of removing trim and other exterior 
bits in order to wax your cars.  I think I will go to my grave astounded at how 
thorough you are.

I do agree with you on the customer service.

Last fall I bought a cheapo Chinese RC helicopter, 2.5 channels with infrared 
control, $20.  It was defective, so I made a warranty claim with importer.  
They wanted me to ship it to them, some outfit in Ohio, my cost, so I did.  
They replaced my defective example with FOUR replacements.  Apparently they 
know their product, I've only tried the first two, only one worked.

[MBZ] Leatherique

[Dan Penoff]

As we speak about suppliers and the level of service they provide (and how we,

experience I had today with George of Leatherique.

Disclaimer:  I have known George for many years and always been a devoted

Back in the day, there was a huge set discount for buying pristine clean and the

I just looked, and it's minuscule now.
A pint of each, $43 total.
A matched set of pints, $42.

Just ordered a quart of 303 Protectant!

Now I just need a new set of leather seat covers to use up all that Leatherique

And yes, Canadian Tire does carry it!

[E M]

I just read the link.  I was a bit confused as to the bit on convertibles.
Does it mean 303 is just for domestic vinyl tops, or as it says it keeps the
top waterproof, is it intended for most imported cars that come with a cloth
top?

I'll have to pick some up, I wonder if it's available at Canadian Tire here
in Canada?

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique rejuvenator on vinyl?

[David Bruckmann]

Vinyl is made of chlorine and hydrocarbons, plus some additives for  
softness/flexibilty. It is the hydrocarbon and softener components  
that I am looking to replenish/refresh. Components of the vinyl mix  
will off-gas over time, eventually depositing a hazy film on the  
inside of your windshield.


As a small test, the rejuvenator oil seems to have effectively  
softened the rock hard pad/donut on the steering hub. I'm a little  
reluctant to use it on the dash for fear of causing cracks where none  
exist now, pending confirmation that it will/won't harm...

Gang,

The Leatherique instructions talk a lot about using Prestine Clean on 
vinyl, but there is conspicuously no mention of vinyl in the Rejuvenator 
Oil instructions.


Does anyone have an idea why this might be? I'm reluctant to use the 
Rejuvenator in the absence of a specific recommendation, just in case it

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique rejuvenator on vinyl?

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

why would you want to use the oil on vinyl?  The oil is like putting 
moisture back in your dried skin.  Since vinyl is plastic there is 
nothing to rejuvenate.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique rejuvenator on vinyl?

[Peter Frederick]

That's because the restoration oil rejuvenates leather, made up of  
tanned protiens, not plastic PVC which is what vinyl is.  Don't know  
if it will hurt, necessarily, but the oils in Leatherique rejuvenator  
will either do nothing or make the vinyl oily, at best.

[MBZ] Leatherique cleaner

[Dan Weeks]

Rusty has the leatherique cleaner, but I find a product called 
Quick-n-Brite  works just as well, and is far 
cheaper. It also works on damn near everything else, from trans lube 
to the dog--literally! I use it to wash my cars, including filthy 
rims, and carpets, upholstry, the whole thing. The only thing I don't 
use it for that they claim it works on, and it no doubt does, is 
windows, as it's a bit tricky to get the formula just right to avoid 
streaking. Other than that, it does everything they say it will. 
Non-toxic, biodegradeable, etc. I have no financial interest in it, 
but wonder how I ever got along without it. Works great as a followup 
to leatherique, in particular.

Re: [MBZ] Leatherique

Thanks for the report Dan -
The leather in the SLC is getting very hard - realy needs the
treatment, and the lether in the SDL creaks and squeeks to the point
of distraction. I need to get onto this project - as soon as I finish
the others!


Follow Rusty's
directions and you'll be very pleased.

[MBZ] Leatherique

[Dan Weeks]

I've used neatsfoot oil for decades on boots, harness leather, etc 
and for such applications it does a great job, and it's cheap. BUT I 
would not want to sit on leather that has absorbed a lot of it, as 
dry leather will, as it leaves a greasy residue and a smell in my 
experience.


I have used leatherique on the seats of my '82 SD and have been very 
pleased--they come clean, are softer and more flexible. I put it on 
with a spray bottle on a hot day, let it soak in well, and rub off 
the excess, if any. On cracked areas, I make more than one 
application. On the top part of my back seat seaback, which was 
extensively sun-hardened almost to the consistency of cardboard, I 
removed the seat and sprayed the underside of the leather 
liberally--really soaked it--several times, until the leather 
wouldn't accept any more. Saturated the top surface also. Did the 
trick wonderfully--the leather there is now as soft as the rest of 
the seats. Did the same with the underside of the leather on the 
skirts surrounding the front seat with the same results.


Neatsfoot oil may or may not have softened the leather just as well, 
but I'm sure it would have left me smelling like a sheep. And I 
wouldn't want to risk staining my clothes. Also, the oily residue in 
neatsfoot oil holds dirt--I know that from experience. Leatherique 
does not, if you use the cleaner afterwards. Follow Rusty's 
directions and you'll be very pleased.

I think you'll like the Gliptone I used on the leather seats in my MB.  It 
conditions the leather and adds a new car smell.

I am not worried about cleaning it. I am more interested in conditioning 
the

"leather" so it doesn't crack.

Leatherique is expensive overkill for vinyl.

Leatherique will have no effect at all on MB Tex.  Get a good vinyl 
restorer and try, but chances are if it's beginning to tear, the knit 
backing is rotted a way and it's toast.


Options then are find a used cover or spring (ouch!) for a new set in 
Tex or leather as you see fit.  I'm making a set for both my 280 SE and 
my brother's 75 300D.

Don't use 409 on Vinyl. It will dry it out and crack it. DAMHIK.
