I'm currently using Meguiar's One Step Leather Care on my seats and it's working pretty good. Has anyone used a leather care that they have found to just be great? Another question, on the back of my back seat headrests the leather is REALLY dry, has anyone found a way to breathe some life back into these? The Meguiar's just isn't doing it. Are there any oils or lotions that will help or is it best to just have them replaced?

Saddle soap works best for me for restoring and cleaning leather. I use a fine fingernail brush to get into the cracks and it works really well and is cheaper than most other products.

Thanks for the idea Chris. I have some Saddle soap but never thought of using it on my seats. I'll try it out.

Oh-My these leather seats look new again after this awesome discovery I made just now. I got this faded brown steering wheel (leather wrapped TGP) that is way better than mine but dry and moldy. Mine has holes in the leather right on the top.

Any way, I was dinking around at wallmart and asked someone where to get leather spray paint dye or some shit like that. and he said go over by the shoe section. they had these tins of shoe polish about as big as a can of Copenhagen. I bought a can of black and used it on the wheel when I got back home. The thing looked brand new again.

Then I went back to Walmrat the next day and bought a bottle of the black and a bottle of white liquid polish with the sponge applicators, and a can of neutral paste ( no pigment but exactly the same as the black).

Then I mixed a little of the liquid black and white together and it made a perfect grey to match the seats. then melted the wax down and stirred in the grey. when it cooled it was kind of runny but it went on beautifully over the cracked leather and made it all grey again.

alright, enough typing :roll:
