Are your car's leather seats showing signs of wear? There's a solution to that!
 
It's called Swissvax Leather Healer.

This product is specially mixed to match the exact color of the factory leather at the swissvax factory. Each bottle takes 3-4 weeks to receive from Switzerland.

We applied it to the Coral red Boston leather found in this BMW 135i we recently detailed.

Swissvax'ed: The Shiniest Sapphire Black 135i you've ever seen, with Blau-Weiss wax! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

The application process is pretty simple, and leaves the seats looking new!

See for yourself...

Products Used:

Swissvax Leather Cleaner
Swissvax Leather Brush
Swissvax Leather Grinding Pad
Swissvax Leather Healer
Swissvax Leather Glaze (Leather Sealant)

Here's how the seat looked before:

Cleaning the leather first:

First we cleaned the surface to be treated and grinded the frayed leather using the grinding pad. then applied the Leather Healer. We ended up applying about 5 coats with about 30 min between each coat.

Wow. I'm gonna have to get some of this stuff for my Lotus. Very slick.

Wow! Definitely ordering this. How much was it? Do they have skin color? I have a scratch on my ass that has been annoying me to death.

NOW this is impressive, great stuff by Swissvax!

Great work Dom. Impressive Swissvax product. Surprising how newish leather can fade and crack so quickly without proper care and uv protection. I'd have you detail my black sapphire 135i if I was local.

Do they offer a sand/beige color? (BMW 1999 M3)

Also how much?

I can't believe you were able to repair that damage. Nice work!

domesticdemon Aug 29, 2011 04:38 PM

Thank you for posting. Sub'd. I need this for my car as well. I have discoloration (since it's been my DD for over 3 years now) and need something good to bring it back to life.
