Dr Leather on Ivory Nappa leather

After our road trip from Kent to the Algarve last week I've notice my beige shorts have really stained the leather so I have tried Dr leather wipes and considering they are wipes I'm pretty impressed with the results.

Anyone got any better products they use?

Some before and after pics

The first thing my daughter said who is 12 and already at 5ft 6 was that they are so comfortable compared to my f30 I had. I must admit behind me only people with no legs could sit there but my little girl comfortably fits behind the Missus.

I think the combination you have of comfort seats with nappa in a 640d is probably about the most comfortable car you can get for long distances. Mine is fine for 3-400 miles, but if I drove across Europe, I'd feel pretty crap when I climbed out!

After cleaning (with whatever you like using....the Dr Leather spray cleaner is very good for seats) - use the Dr leather Dye block. It's the only one I've found to actually work.

Maybe its just me, but I think 6er's have the best looking back seats in the business. Stunning.

After doing the Algarve road trip I have to agree it was amazing on a long journey

I haven't found anything better than dr leather wipes.

They work, they keep forever, they smell nice, they don't damage or cause build-up on the leather coatings.

After I've done the seats I always use the wipes to clean the door shuts or any bits of back-seat plastic that's been scuffed by the kids.

Dr Leather stuff is the best out there IMO. Ive got the spray and the wipes, so easy to keep the leather looking good.
I would imagine the benefit is even greater on the better quality leather

Definitely easy to keep clean with the Dr leather wipes. I had brown/beige shorts on driving to Portugal so that was a little harder to get out as I didn't bring any wipes but still came up pretty good.
