Snake Oil?
 
Does anyone know if this stuff works or even what it actually is?

don't screw around - get some Leatherique. its the best stuff there is, i've tried pretty much all leather cleaners and conditioners.

soak the leather in their Rejuvenator, and place a garbage bag over the seats for a day. repeat.

then clean all the crap that has been pulled out of the pores to the surface with the Prestine Clean.

its not cheap, but my two bottles are 7 years old and are still half full.

they also have crack filler and dye for full restoration of damaged leather.

I am going to try it. I bought some last week and it should be here soon. I will let you know what I think about it. :) I am going to do some before and after pictures. :)

Did you send in a sample color swatch? Maybe if we can get the grey and taupe colors in they would consider making a couple 'standarized' colors for us.

This gray color was made up for the SVX. I asked about the beige and he is going to make that color up as well for us. I will let you know when he sends me a sample and if it matches ok. :)

Sounds almost like a leather dye, if it's made to restore the color in spots where it's been worn off. I'd be careful, and try it in a spot like the back of my back seat

It sounds like it to me as well. I have a bad seat that I am going to try it on before any of my cars. :)

Steering Wheel
 
Would be interesting to see if it would work on a worn steering wheel as well.

Don't forget the old saying , If it sounds to good to be true it probely is! I hope not in our case http://bestsmileys.com/clueless/1.gif

I've been looking for something like this for a while. It must be a dye because it comes with gloves for application. Earl, do you have an old steering wheel laying around?

ensteele 09-18-2005 11:43 AM

I have one on one of my cars that I was going to put a cover on. I can apply it to that and see what happens. I will post pictures when I do it.
