For the leather seats, i would recommend Home Page | Leatherique Restoration Products

I just used the rejuvinator oil and prestine cleaner, and the result was stunning..!!

HI again..

Nope, the oil, which you use first, is just applied to the seats as they sit in the car..

You should use plenty of oil, and pref. during a sunny warm day. Then you close the doors and windows and let it all bake.. After you are done with the oil, you use the cleaner to remove residues from the oil, as well as polish the seats..


It is great stuff.!!!

Maybe i didn't read your post well enough.. Are there a lot of color difference.? Or are the seats just faded from sun etc.?

If faded, the oil is a good place to start...

I second on the post #2 (Leatherique product). I apply the oil with brushes on a hot day and let it soaked for 2 hours before using the cleaner to remove the excess oil. I do this once a year to feed the leather and then use Lexol leather conditioner for maintenance. Make sure you use lints free rag to remove the oil so that there are no lints leave behind when you have black leather. I use this method on my 81 Porsche 930 also. Great way to keep the leather soft.

No.

Only if you have to dye the leather.. Which is not what you are intending to do, using the oil...
