You defenetely done a great job!
I don't know is it just me, but most domestic vehicles (Ford, Chrysler, many GM's, but not Cadillac) don't offer quality leather. After just a few years it's age really shows. Or maybe most of those owners just don't care about their vehicles, and never condition their leather??? can anyone clarify???

[ReLoaDeD BuLLiTT]

there's a lotta truth to that statement bro. the owner really didn't take the best of care of his leather which didn't help though.

You don't what you could, and great job on that, bro.
The only way to fix it now will be leatherique dye.
