I put the oil crap on yesterday and covered them with big bags, then did the rest of the stuff today and MAN does that make a difference. It looks and feels so good! If only I had a car to put them in and drive :( . So I'll be listing them in the classifieds section in a few days if you want them. Took some pics too but forgot them.

Well I don't have before and after pics, just after. I keep forgetting to bring my camera home so you'll have to wait. Want to buy them?

No, leatherique makes a bunch of cleaning and conditioning products. Basically you put some special oil-like stuff on for a day then the next day you clean the oil off with some cleaner then wipe it all off with water and dry it off. check out www.autogeek.net.

the huge carbon thing (no, not carbon FIBER) attached to his camera sucks

:stickoutt


so did you notice all the shit coming off with the cleaner? WAit a sec, you have black vaders...you'll never know the troubles and woes of dove grey. PArt of me wants to save money and re-dye my vaders and the other lazy part of me just says "screw it" and buy RACEseats.

he didnt dye them ali, he conditioned them. im sure they look better than they do before you conditioned them but they don't look that good when you compare it to redyed seats. all you dove grey owners 100 bucks is the going rate to redye your front seats. its night and day

open your phone book and call around to see how who sprays seats (aka redyes them on the spot)... no more than 100 bucks and your seats will look brand new. i am a dealer and i have a guy who does this for me. if u cant find one go to a dealer and ask around and ask them who does their seats for them.

I had my seats re-dyed for $125 here in Jacksonville and 2pak is right - night and day! My seats weren't really in bad shape before, just the basic wear points. After the re-dye, they look brand new. I was very happy with the job CCI did (I don't know if they're a national franchise or not).

The Leatherique system is great! I desperately need to do it again before the cold weather arrives because of the amount of crap that shops have gotten on my seats. Its a two-day process, but the results can't be matched.
