Cleaning and Renewing Leather Seats

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Seat

This video shows us how to renew and clean our leather seat. If over time the leather of our seat has lost its initial shine and appears dull and dirty, we can renew and clean it in a few simple steps. First, obtain a machine that emits hot steam to thoroughly degrease the leather; place a cloth over the steam nozzle to protect the leather and spray a special soap during the cleaning. Once you have completed several washes and the leather is clean, get a specific product to renew and hydrate it for greater longevity.
