Leather car seats are gorgeous, comfortable, and stylish. On the flip side, they're hard to take care of, especially when they get old, scuffed, and stained. Your options seem to be down to replacing them or spending a lot of time cleaning things off.
But is it really the case? Legit Street Cars found a unique solution to easy, efficient and effective leather restoration and maintenance by using some of the top-selling Clyde's Leather Care products. Here's what the process looked like (and how it will surely look for you too!)
The Backstory
Legit Street Cars posted a YouTube video in 2022 showing his E39 car seats on a BMW 540i. They were visibly old and worn out with fine lines, scratches, and faded leather color.
As a disclaimer, he says that it's not for the faint of heart, and anyone can make mistakes. But, he follows it up with assurance.
"(This process) is applicable to all of us out there who don't want to change the color of our seats but want to restore them and make them look much better," says Legit Street Cars.
The Leather Restoration Process
You're going to see that it slowly turns into a matte finish after it dries. That means you've just removed all the old waxes and greases that have been sitting on your seat for years.
Unlike most dyes in the market, Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm does not dry out leather or worsen cracks over time.
This is definitely one of the most satisfying things you can do to your car. It only takes like five minutes per seat.

The leather is conditioned too, so it's no longer hard and worn out. It has the vibes way back in the 2000s!
