Mail order or get at your local Tandy Leather store. This even smells like new real leather. They have leather cleaners, too.

I went to leatherique website and they say let it steam? Does it actually steam?

Totally OT, when I remove GT battery, what are things I should watch out for?

DO NOT TOUCH THE FENDERS!!! They WILL bend. Wrap cables in a rag and pull to the side. Have a magnet handy, then you won't drop the hold down bolt and need it. Clean the bat cable ground at the frame.

I know not to elbow it but can I put a thick blanket over it and support my belly on it?

Why not look at the battery thread on the Forum. Everything is there. Put 2 or 3 blankets/towels down and double them up. If you think you are too weak to pull it out or drop in, get a helper.

Plug in your trickle charger before disconnecting the cables and insulate the positive so it doesn't touch ground. This will keep the engine adaptives "ready". Otherwise you'll have to complete a drive cycle.. esp important if you have emissions test coming soon

And indeed this subject has been covered numerous times. SEARCH (which appears right ta the top of the page) can be your friend.

I picked up the Tandy cleaner and conditioner, but ? is our dash and door panels leather or is that plastic that just looks like leather btw the Tandy product worked great ,my seats look beautiful and came out with a deep black matte shine, which is exactly what I wanted. I hate shiny leather thanks for the recommendation Highhp

Mine are all real leather. FYI: my local Tandy Leather store had leather sheets that perfectly matched the leather in the GT.

Got this a decade+ ago from M3 owners (when BMW gave M models the steering wheel cool stitching) and have been using it with great results since.

- 50/50 mix of woolite and water in spray bottle
- spray on leather (or onto microfiber) and wipe with microfiber
- wipe down with clean wet microfiber (100% water)
- wipe down with dry microfiber

I use Ammo NYC for interior and exterior. Pricey but great products.
