    Doc Bailey's Leather Black



    I used Doc Bailey's Leather Black quite successfully to rejuvenate the black interior in my 91 325is. I had seen raves on the product on on of the E30 forums and figured it was worth a shot. In the end, while it took a long time to get to me as it comes from Canada, it exceeded all expectations.

    I applied it thinly and evenly, let it sit for a few hours on a hot summer day, and then removed the excess product. I then went back a few hours later and removed more product, as some of it had dried further. As a result I did not get any dye-back of the black on any clothing, and the seats looked worlds better as a result.

    I repeated the process about a week later, and right now I could not be happier with the condition of my seats. They look great, especially by comparison, and I'm looking forward to another application in the spring.

    I have found this to be an amazing product for my tired black leather interior, and highly recommend it if your seats require this kind of restoration.

          Looking at those pics makes me miss my leather interior. My big ass had flattened out that driver's seat to the point where it had become really comfortable. :D

            This came out excellent. I need a product like this but for my grey seats.

                        Did you get the 4 oz. kit with the applicator and buffing cloth? Just wondering how much that one bottle will do.

                          I bought the default 8.8 oz bottle that came with the product and application foam shrink-wrapped to each other. I never saw the 4 oz kit when I ordered.

                              Is that enough for more than one use if you do the front seats and rear bench?
