Depends on what you'd like to do. If you plan to do both steps, yes, you'll need both the rejuvinator oil as well as the prestine clean. If you just want a maintenance product, you would only need the prestine clean

THey're 16oz bottles. The rejuvinator oil is typically good for 2-3 applications, depending of course on how much leather you have in the car. Since you only use the RO about 2x a year, a 16oz bottle is plenty for 1 vehicle for at least one year
The prestine clean will last longer, but again, depend on how much and how often you use it.

It may. Depends how fresh the transfer is, and just how bad/deep it is. For a serious cleaning, you might take a look at some P21s Total Auto Wash or Optimum PowerClean, diluted to spot clean.

I've heard alot of conflicting opinions on using the Leatherique on the semi-aniline (I think that's what it's called, hope I'm remembering right) leather like what is used in the 2GS, what's your opinion and experience Chris?

I have a few question.

1) does this make the leather feel oily and greasy like other leather cleaner?
2) Since I have an is350. The leather tend to get wrinkle on the side. Will this cure the wrinkles? I tried other leather cleaner and protective leather but it seems like none of it does the job from protecting it from wrinkling. My car only has 7000 miles.

PM me back dont check here often. Thanks
