Hi Roger,
I have seen some of your posts on the forum and would like to know more about your products. I have a 2002 BMW with Nappa leather which I am looking to improve. I have already done a leatherique treatment twice, and I am quite happy with the results, but there is still more creasing than I would like, and I believe I the leather could still be a bit softer than it is now. Overall the leather is in great shape, besides the wrinkles on the bolster and the slight plastic like feel.
I have redone interiors in the past, by replacing the leather with pre stiched new leather, so if I need to apply products such as fat liquor from the unfinished side, I don't think I would have an issue. I have hog rings and hog ring pliers, so if need be I can remove the leather completely. Please let me know which kit you recommend and more info along with pricing.

Roger,
Now I know that the larger wrinkles have appeared because the leather has stretched a bit from the foam underneath being compressed. However, I am planning on removing the seat bottom and adding upholstery foam which should remove the larger folds in the leather. Also, since I will be adding foam, I will have access to the leather from the back/untreated side. Judging by the rest of the car, the leather seems to be red throughout, as even the back side of the leather is red in color, therefore I believe the leather is tanned not painted? Please advice.
