Oyster on White is great

I feel your pain...I thought the same that Oyster on AP would not look right but I have seen it in person and it rocks. I personally think Mojave would be the best combo with Oyster a close second. Check out this thread there are all types of good pics. LEDZEP has a great AP and Oyster.

Going to buy the dog car seat covers for sure though! Maybe never take the baby out of the house either!

Can I buy some leather clean wipes and use them on the seats once a week or should I go with BMW's cleaner?

Garage List
Oyster leather seats => suggestions for care

greetings ... we own a alpine white x3 with the oyster leather and fine line wood trim ... no regrets ... the bottom half of the cabin is black(anthracite) and it compliments the oyster color very well

bmw uses a urethane covered leather which will require a slight different approach for care

it is recommended not to use any silicone and oil based cleaner, conditioner and protection

leatherique (cleaner & rejuvenatory)has been suggested ... indeed a very fine product ... it is however more appropriate for "old and worn" leather

I own following products:

bmw leather care:
waterbased - 1 step product .... boy does it stink ... leaves a cow paddy smell all over => NOT recommended)

Leatherique:
excelent product for older worn leather

http://www.detailedimage.com/Leatherique-M8/
(dont forget promo e90post for discount)

pristine clean
rejuvenator


Leather Master:
My favorite ... 3 step product ... clean, nourish, protect (water based)

http://www.detailersdomain.com/Leath...Kit_p_149.html

the kit costs $45 @ detailersdomain (dont forget the promo newbie for a 15% discount)

The Leather Master Kit comes with:
1 Strong Cleaner 250 ml (use strong cleaner and dilute 50% for more yield)

1 Protection Cream 250 ml
1 Vital Conditioner 250 ml

Bonus:
3 Uber Small Blue Notched Applicators
3 Uber All Purpose MF 16x16soft or strong cleaner
i hope this helps
