Go to http://www.leatherique.com and check out their restoration kit. It has a great cleaner, and leather rejuvenator to soften it back up. I've used this stuff on my 19 year old leather in the 928 and it's soft again like factory new.

The Leatherique products are amazing. I spent some time with them earlier this year and learned a lot about leather and leather care. I need to order some more stuff from them so I can do my seats.

Thanks everyone. I'll try a little harder to soften the leather up. I'll try to post pics, when I get the chance. Reupholstering is probably going to be the ultimate finale. *sigh...

Oh btw.. randall, ebay shows the dismantler (whom I've dealt with before) selling a pair of seats on ebay. However, you are right. These are no way close to being like new condition. Mine are in better condition, I think.

I emailed www.leatherique.com, and they replied the following:

"I would definately recommend at least a pint of the Rejuvenator and Prestine Clean, both on sale for $35. The Rejuvenator is a professional, leather specific protein collagen complex that will be absorbed directly into the hide to restore tensile strength, luxurious suppleness, and good health back into the leather, and expel dirt to the surface where it can be cleaned away with your Prestine Clean. "

Ahahaha... I had to exhume this thread. I don't often do stuff like this, but I thought it would be worth a laugh...

Thanks, Racer ! I must have missed this one. I haven't laughed that loud in a long time ! By Rail's second post I totally lost it...
