If you truly want to get a (Porsche nappa) leather restoration job done, it's best to leave it to the pro imo. I did, although not much for seats, but for some scratches here and there and I was blasted with the results. You can't tell where the touch-up was made.

These guys used wet sanding, degreasing, rubber based putties, perfectly matched dye, a sealant and polishing. Not to mention the Aloes base cream treatment he did to the entire car's leather. NEW CAR!

One of the best $200 (+generous tip) ever spent on my Porsche car

Gentlemen, Here's two pics of the job I did on my 986 2001. I used Leatherique products. I spend ten hours on each seat just for preparation. The result is just amazing.
