Ahoy there folks. Talking about a 2007 9-3SS Aero.

Two weeks ago and again yesterday, I applied the Saab-brand leather conditioner to my upholstery.

Prior to applying it, i.e. when the car was brand-new, the leather felt a bit dry and stiff and slightly rough to touch. After applying it, it gave the leather more of a supple feel and made it much softer to the touch. Even after two weeks (i.e. right before reapplying the stuff yesterday), the leather felt significantly softer than it did when I first purchased the car. And to top it all off (I doubt this was an intentional feature of this product) it seems to strenghten the new-car smell.

Maybe there are better products out there, but this seems to work very well. Just thought I'd pass along my experience with this product.

Great advice!

I love the new car smell.

I read somewhere last week that "new car smell" is toxic but if I'm going to die by breathing something I like then, death, here I come.

Well it is the smell of VOC's Volitile Organic Compounds so yes.

He, he, he.

You can call me an "addict" then.

I like that smell better than my wife's perfume.
