ReDye/ReNew Leather 201 interior?

I'd like to make the seats look like they did when it was new. They are in fantastic condition except for the fading. The car has been tinted for years and years and they still fade. I've thought about recovering a bunch of the interior panels with newer material. I can do that, but I don't want to recover my seats.

What could I do to make my Leather look new again? Whats a tried and true method? I want to hear what someone has done with great results. Post pictures if you can, please.

Hi scottx - this forum is a bit slower paced than some of the others. You rarely get a quick answer here. But you'll probably get one in the end.

I don't have an answer for you as I'm in the same boat. I was considering this:-

There are some good domestic products (CONUS)

BUT !
The accolades the members from Britannia heap upon "Gliptone" make it seem
almost miraculous.

Non-Damaged Hides for Color and Finish: SEM products.

I've been using Leatherique products for many years, the BMW guys turned me onto it. I swear by it so much that I am now a distributor down here in Daytona. Check out leatherique.com. If you allow the Rejuvenator to stay on for a good 24 hours on a hot day you will be amazed at how much dirt is driven out from the pores of the leather.
