Thanks!
The longer you leave it the better.

As for black, it didn't make a huge difference for me. A lot of dirt did come out, but dirt isn't really visible on black like it is on tan.

Did this today. A lot of work, but worth it. Pictures dont do the seats justice. My interior is stone.

Leatherique is my favorite cleaner/conditioner/restorer, hands down.

Hi, how about the infiniti logo embroidery and the stitching. does it get cleaned as well? also how is the texture like after the whole process? Is it flat finish? sort of like brand new leather... I have shiny spots from usage here and there. Especially on my arm rest. I'd love to try this!

^^^No kidding, that looks like a lot of work! How many hours does that take? And some people say you have to do it about once a month.

I've never heard that. Sounds like overkill to me. What I have heard, though, is 1 to 2 times per year (for optimal results).

^^^I thought it was a lot when someone mentioned that to me too. 1 to 2 times a year is feasible.

Great write up OP.

Just a small question albeit off topic:

What do you guys use to clean your seat belts since lets face it we use them every time we drive the car and the drivers side one is getting a little dirty.

I am very curious about the embroidery too? Does it get cleaned or is this something to watch out for?
