Leather Rejuvenating BMW Z1 from 1990 – leather condition is very dry becoming flat, but now, after hydrating and fatliquoring, the leather have become significantly softer and “plump”.
I am in the process of restoring the leather interior (door panel, dashboard, and various trim pieces of a BMW Z1 from 1990. The leather condition is very very dry, becoming flat (2Dimensional), but overall in good condition, i.e. no crack or tears.
I did not take photos of the before condition, but now, after hydrating and fatliquoring, the leather have become significantly softer and 'plump',
My further question:
When should I stop fatliquoring?
What is the sign of too much fatliquoring?
As with some trim pieces, it appears that they keep absorbing the fatliquor.
After all the process is done, will the restored leather be as good as new leather in retaining the fatliquor, or will I have to replenish the fatliquor often?
