Leather turned hard as rock! HELP!
My cousin's Porsche left his roof down for 3 days in the sun and now the leather turned HARD! He tried soaking it with water hoping the leather would absorb it and soften it up a bit. It did but it's still quite hard. Is there any product that would cure it? Leather conditioner or something?
TIA
TIA

Below I've outlined the proper steps that should be taken when using Leatherique so he gets the most out of the products. It has a slightly unique application process.
Prior to Use:
The selected surface should be vacuumed and wiped down with a damp cloth.
Products Recommended:
Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil
Leatherique Prestine Clean – Required to remove Rejuvenator Oil
Applicator Pad – Required to apply Prestine Clean
Cloth Towel x2 – Required to remove Prestine Clean
Steps Taken:
1. Vacuum seats thoroughly and wipe down with a damp towel to ensure all loose debris is removed prior to working the product.
2. Apply Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil by hand and massage into the leather or leatherette, using generous amounts to the stitching and cracked areas
3. Allow Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil to sit on your seats for up to 24 hours, we suggest parking the vehicle in the sun to create a sauna effect while the product is penetrating your seats.
3a. Multiple applications may be required for hardened and discolored leather.
4. Apply Prestine Clean directly onto the seats with a terry cloth applicator pad, using generous amounts around stitching and cracked areas
5. Allow Prestine Clean to penetrate leather for 15 – 30 minutes
6. Remove Prestine Clean with a warm damp cloth towel
7. Buff completely dry with a new dry cloth towel
If you have any questions on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
