Fortunately the car is black so the Grey will work. Even if it didn’t come back to the full darkness, the leather surfaces are in good shape, the stuffing in the drivers seat is ok, and there are no tears that I can recall. We’ll see when I pull it all out. It is amazing the amount of fade though.

Red blotches are actually from the beating I took trying to get the backs out. Those little white rollers are something i wish i knew about before I started. They were holding on the tops and I could not figure out why they wouldn’t come out. I was ready to take a cutting torch to the back to see what was holding them in. I’ll do a shot write up about removal of these guys. I couldn’t find one anywhere that mentioned that part. It would also been helpful to move the recliners a bit forward to expose the 2 hold down bolts at the rear of the bottom seats.

Espoe my buffalo seats and interior were pretty much in the same condition as yours a few years ago but after a thorough clean and conditioning I applied Leatherique dye. The interior pieces I dyed have stood the test of time and the S.California heat. Great product.
