Re-dying Leather seats

Anyone used leatherique to re-dye their leather? Any issues with the quality or color match? Any info is helpful. Just looking for other members experience.

never heard of it,honestly.
I have been debating using something on my Steering wheel and it was suggested that Horse saddle polish may help?..sounds like a plan!

Same color? The detailing shop I share space with does it with good results. Key is to follow the steps exactly.

I tried the best leather revitalization dye etc from a leather tack shop. I was very disappointed it leaves a sheen that looks weird. In the end I bought new custom leather skins.

Do a proper 3 stage restoration and they'll be good as new (Assuming they have no tears)

3 stage is cleaning, leather restoration, dying/finishing.

-Clean the **** out of it

-Prep, sand, repair damage and rejuvenating (oil) the seat making it like new again.

-Clean and then color dye/balm it followed with a sealer.
