BMW Leather care kit and Dakota Leather?

https://parts.bmwofstratham.com/a/BM...tion_Kit.html#
Hi,

Is the BMW Leather care kit safe to use on Dakota Leather? Im just curious if they made formulation changes for the newer Vernasca leather that might not be compatible w. Dakota.

I just use this, it works perfectly on my seats, arm rests, and M-sport steering wheel.

The strong cleaner does just what it says; lifts the grime but not color.

In fact, it cleanly pulled off what I believe to be metallic nail polish when I bought my car as CPO.

Do you have any tricks for delicate skin cracks? At the armrest, as if from the elbow? there is a slight crack and I don't know how to secure it.

I've seen people get good results from a company called Colourlock.

I have a super soft brush made of horse hair for the seats. With the right products, it makes the seats nice and less shiny again.

colourlock is incredible for restoration. If you just need rejuvination though Leatherique is top tier.
