Hello Folks,
Please forgive me if this question has been asked in this forum previously.

I have a question pertaining to Leatherique Rejuvenator.

Does Rejuvenator work properly, and penetrate Pigmented Leather, or what may be more commonly referred to as "Painted" leather, such as my 1997 Chevy Tahoe's Seat have?

Searching abroad, I seem to get some conflicting info, and would like your wise advice, and guidance on such a product, and if it is worthwhile to use on such Leather?

Thanks folks! Mark

I"m not quite sure on your definition of pigmented leather, but I did an application on a 10 yr old Honda this past Summer and was very pleased with the results.

Prior to application, my leather was hardening into a plastic like feeling and forming cracks as the moisture was leaving the material over the years. I did a few coats of Leatherique rejuvinator ( seats were thirsty ) and cleaner and the leather is quite supple now. Leatherique doesn't fix cracks, but should prevent new ones from forming, and the leather is softened a bit vs prior to application.

My seats are colored, so I'm assuming yours will be fine. If you are still unsure, you can call leatherique directly. It's a small company that specializes solely on Leather care / repair, and I got my questions answered on one phone call by the person who answered the call.

I plan to do a once a year application in the middle of summer as a maintenance. Higher temps are better for application.

Note sure what you mean by "pigmented". Leather is dyed not "painted" or "stained". Leatherique makes amazing products my friend. Rejuvenator works best in higher heat. Easiest way is to wait until summer. Put it on, roll up windows, and let it bake in the sun. If not, you can roll up a blow-dryer in one of the windows and let it run. Don't leave it unattended :)
