Today I picked up a couple of leather seats that I want to restore and put in my convertible.
The seats have been left in a parts car for a loooong time in the Florida sun - not a pretty sight.
They are discolored, slightly cracked and insanely dry.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/b000543b58a7497dcfe41968e6eb4154.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/874ef1b7b246ffb0d3836f7a0de4245b.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/31dc415442fd39df7c86e0f4aad89852.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/5df2fb7b97e508befb6c48edc3820fce.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160501/4a9241a2db37f92fa1929fb6a5c32981.jpg
They are not overly dirty, but do need a good clean also.
I'm pointing to the original color of the seats in one of the pictures.
I need to dye the leather black, so I'm not too concerned about getting the color back, but I do need to get the leather softened up...
So, in terms of tools and products, what would this awesome community recommend? I've read about leatherique being a great line of products, so maybe the 32oz kit might be a good solution?
