Read up on it on the leatherique web site. Requires sanding the leather with very fine sand paper and multiple coats of dye, best done with a spray gun.

Sounds like a LOT of work with marginal results if you don't know what you're doing.

I agree though. A full red leather interior is a bit much for this Porsche owner. Maybe if I was a woman I'd like it more.

yeah that stuff does miracles on leather too... but keep the stuff handy for future use because like any other thing that is high traffic the product will wear away again.

I have a tiny 3/4" scratch on my passenger side seat. I'm thinking about trying to fix this with leatheriqe.

Randall, to keep the vinyl looking good, use a product called Vinylex. It is in a blueish spray bottle. Works great as a tire dressing too.

I use Aerospace 303 for the same things and it's probably a very similar formulation. It's also for vinyls and rubber. It replaces the chemicals that the vinyl and rubber lose to weathering and UV and 303 is also a "sunblock" for them. I got the info from guys here, researched the two prooducts and decided on the 303.
Full disclosure: I do not have a ten year history to back up the manufacture's claim.......
