U should try first with the rejuvinator oil and prestine clener. The instructions how to use can be found on theire website. It's easy peasy..
This stuff does wonder for the leather seats..

[juppalgae]

well, i'm not too sure if i need to dye the leather or not. i will post the pictures today. and please tell me if i need to dye the leather on top of just cleaning.

here are the pictures of the 1) leather seats 2) steering wheel and 3) left door handle.

as for the steering wheel, i will order the "steering wheel kit". pls, tell me if i need to only order the cleaning products for 1) leather seats or i have to dye as well upon looking at the pictures.

what can be done to imrove 3) door handle color?

Hi.

Im no expert, but here is what i think.


The only thing which might work for the steering wheel is the steering wheel kit. I've seen a tutorial on the web which shoved how to fix a wheel which was as bad as yours.. Not sure where i saw it, but if you try google, or maybe it was on leatheriuqe's website.

The seats might be okay from just the oil treatment.. It's a bit hard to tell how the miscoloring is.. Is it from sun, sweat, water etc.? Or is it a color rubbed of from something.?? Any of the first should be fixed with the oil..


And finally, regarding the handles.. This is a known weaknes on these cars.. All my 4 handles look the same.. I've been thinking about replacing them, painting them, or covering them with carbon fibre vinyl..

I have not decided yet, but im pretty sure i will not replace them.. Would love to fix it, but it has not been prioritized from my point..

Hopefully my answer can offer some help...

Good luck..

the steering wheel is sold at the same website.

as for the size of the products, did you get 16 or 32 oz? i'm thinking about doing the entire leather seats. and i have no idea how the color changed. my guess is it's proly from the combination of sunlight, sweat, and water.

[ekvals]

I got the 32 oz combo.. And i have plenty left.. But one should use the stuff once a year after the first time, so it's good to have some extra..


If the color was caused by sun, sweat water etc, im sure you will be very happy with the result..

Just remember to rub in the product, let it sit for many hours if you can, and pref. during a warm day.. Repeat if your not satisfied the first time...

[juppalgae]

aren't there two products in a combo set? which product do i need to apply first? can you explain step by step?

[ekvals]

Sure...

You need to buy rejuvinator oil, and prestine cleaner....

When you receive the products, you wanna vacuum your seat...
Then you apply ample amount of the oil, and work it into to the leather... The best way, i find it, is to use your hands, wearing gloves... After you have applied the oil. You want to let work for a while.. The minimum time is 2hours, but the longer you can leave it in there, the better. Preferablyyou want to leave the oil in the seats on a sunny day, with the windows and doors closed, to get a good temperature in the car...

When you need the car, or believe the oil has been working long enough. You use the prestine cleaner to clean up oil residues and other residues which has been drawn out of the leather by the oil..

When you are finished cleaning the seats, you can either repeat the procedure, if you believe the result could be better, or you leave it as is..

I did it a couple of times. My seats where not to badly miscolored. But the leather was stiffer then supposed to be. And the finish was glossy.. After i used the oil, the seats got it old leather look back..

Great product..

Hope this helps...
