Edit: apparently some of the chemicals in waxes can hurt the coating from what I read. It's ok if you use a strictly pure carnauba wax also waxing will negate some of the reasons for using ceramic like repealing water to the same degree or could causing marring on the ceramic. Waxes aren't designed to be put over ceramic coatings

As for repealing water, waxes have their own properties for this so it will just react differently until the wax itself dissipates. However, this is just my speculation and I could be completely wrong. It has definitely happened before lol |

I teach a detailing class through PCA. I have tried a lot of products and own too many to count. I did try the oem BMW leather care for the forum and it is pretty good stuff. Not greasy and easy to apply. It has a UV protectant in it. For new leather, I would start with this and it should be all you need. It will also soften up the new leather. Treat it now when new and it will always look great. Biggest mistake many do is wait until the leather looks like it needs treated to start a leather feeding. That’s like waiting until your house plant is almost dead to start watering it.
Here is a BMW all purpose cleaner that is used on leather and carpets. I really like this stuff. (Ivory Merino owners needs this in their kit) Last edited by MystroX5; 02-13-2019 at 08:07 AM.. |

That said, the BMW products are very good and ideal for new leather. Sonax info: https://www.autogeek.net/sonax-premium-leather-kit.html |

I actually tried a boot conditioner and it works great.

I ended up ordering the Zaino and will see how it works out. Thanks for all of the input.
On my prior vehicle (4Runner), it took 10+ years of getting in and out to create some minor wear marks on the driver's outside upper edge - and that was with no leather treatment, so I feel like I'm way ahead on the X5! |
