- Hooverd the seats
- Applied Leatherique rejuvunator with my bare hands, really massaged the seats and applied generously.
- Left the car under the sun with windows closed for about 4h
- Vaporised generously Leatherique Pristine and used a "Supreme shine microfiber" to scrub (Amazon.com: Meguiar's X2020 Supreme Shine Microfiber Towels (Pack of 3): Automotive) AND THAT's WHERE I THINK I DID IT WRONG => Should have i used a brush or a sponge to scrub ?
As the microfiber would dry the leather right away and it felt wrong.

Any tips is most welcome
Also there's some stain or nails damage that won't disapear, do you have tan / beige dye to recommend ?

Nope - that's how I did it. On a 2 year old DD convertible I got great results with about 6 hours in the sun, on the Boxster I ended up letting it sit basically 2 days. Maybe try again for longer? Was it nice and hot out? Were there sections that had soaked it all up, or was the oil still gooped everywhere - I had to reapply a couple times to a very dried out section in that newer vert.
What about it didn't turn out well?

Just remembered, I also gently scrubbed the Boxster seats down first with the leather cleaner and a shaving brush, as suggested by Larry of Ammo. Check out /DRIVEclean on YouTube for his videos. My seats had been used for many daily gym runs in the past, so I wanted to have a head start getting all the sweat and crap out of them. May make a difference.
