Another high point of this product can be viewed in post #7 - - the black interior of the old 928. The leatherique system has some ability to close up those age cracks. In some cases, it can virtually hide them as the leather "swells" slightly during and after the application of the RO. This is what I was going after in my Benz and had what I'd describe as 80% success.

Basic process: Apply RO, dwell in heat for several hours (up to 4oz per seat as required). Mist on the Cleaner, wipe down with damp towel or sponge.

I strongly recommend using gloves when applying the RO.

Don't attempt this in cold weather. The RO needs heat to be absorbed into the coated leathers found in most cars. Find a hot day during the summer and let the car sit. I like the plastic bag trick. I didn't have adequate cleaning 'til I employed this method (on a hot day).
