Restoring and redyeing seats DIY
After hating my worn out , cracked leather on my seats I decided to do something about it. I ordered a kit from Leatherique to restore them. I got crack filler , cleaner, dye and preservative. Attached are some pics how the project went.
My cracked bolster with a hole in it.

This took a few hours and I had an extra seat so I could drive the car. Products takes two days to cure completely before you can sit in them. I'm pleased with the result. They look better then when I bought them. If you leather has gotten ratty I highly recommend doing this. I paid $125 for the chemicals and have enough left over to do another set.
