My Coral Red

Gave my coral red leather a treatment with Meguiar's leather conditioner, see what you think. The headrest and seat shows the contrast between before and after.

Looks rich, I need to try that .

Tried it in my 08 VW R32 and hated it, way too shiny. Your pictures don't show if it is shiny or more flat, how is it in reality?

When I first did it, it was very glossy, almost greasy. I went back the next day with a clean dry cloth and thoroughly wiped off the entire area, and that removed the greasy appearance. It is now shiny and rich without looking glossy.

Good to know, did you had to rub hard with a cloth the second day or just lightly?

I don't like shiny leather. Heard a lot of things about Dr Leather wipes and LTT Leather kits, they really get rid of the shiny appereance.
