Leatherette going shiny

arcticpiper · 02-15-2006, 04:24 PM

The leatherette drivers seat on my 3month old 325i is going shiny.
It now looks completely different from the other seats. The dealer says this is "normal".
Anyone else had the same problem?

i don't think it's getting shiny, i think it's getting dirty. try cleaning it with whatever is recommended for leatherette.
