I put the bertone door panels in my car many years ago and have conditioned the leather a couple times a year but otherwise haven’t touched them. Recently someone else noticed the veneer panels are looking a little faded and could use some cleaning and oil to keep them in shape. It had not even occurred to me that someone could or should be done about them. I had assumed they were covered in a thick clear coat but in fact there isn’t much finish at all on them and it looks to be just an oil finish.
So some cleaner and a coat of mineral oil later and they are looking much better. As they were on the right and after cleaning and oil on the left. As always it is the little things that really make a difference.
