Leatherique Winner

Just wanting to share my results. Only did front seats, door panels, arm rest and steering wheel - came out fantastic.

Used about 1/3 of the rejuvenator oil (16oz bottle) and a little more than half of prestine clean for all of the above. Let the car sit on top of my parking deck for ~24 hours in 99+ degree heat. It could have sat for longer considering the rejuvenator oil wasn't completely dry but I could not wait any longer as it is my DD.

Looking pretty new for an 08 with 56xxx miles, right?

Thanks.

Wrinkles will always be there. Makes the smaller cracks a lot less noticeable and gives the seats a matte look and feel.
From 3 or 4 feet away- they look brand new.

I'm sure if I waited another 24 or 48 hours, results would be even better.

In the past I didn't have great results using leatherique on coated leather. Maybe I just didn't give it long enough since your results look great!

Thanks.

To be honest, they weren't too bad to begin with. Biggest difference was the matte finish and soft feel.
