similar but not exactly, i let my dye sit for about 5 minutes before buffing it off, there is no way i needed to let it sit for 2 hours..... but when i have tomorrow off so i am going to reapply a signle layer and let it sit for a few hours and buff it out and see if that makes it a little darker yet and how that works out for me.

 

Just clean your seats with a leather cleaner that leaves no residue. Leather conditioners aren't necessary since the conditioner will not be able to permeate the top sealant coating that is on almost all leather car seats today. The only place you would actually dealing with leather is where you rubbed off the coat and subsequently the dye. Your seats should stay looking healthy and new for a long time, and shouldn't develop any more cracks.

 

Interesting

 

Very nice job

Looks great man, it really makes a big difference!

 

that is some nice stuff =D

 

cool stuff.

 

Looks great I need to redo mine..

 

Exactly. Leather "conditioners" are a waste of time and are no longer necessary with sealed leather. And this is likely why you have the fading problem to begin with. The conditioner just sits on the surface collecting dirt while your body just rubs it all over the seat.

Just use a mild cleaning solution to clean the seat. Water and Woolite in a 10:1 mixture works great.

The dye job did come out nice however. Just toss your conditioning routine as you're probably doing more harm than good.

 

Looks good. However (knock on wood) I have about 75K right now and my seats are nowhere near as bad as those were.
