Has anyone fixed the common problem were the leather color on the top of the Trans shift wears off. Is there some kind of paint or something available? Thanks

Chubby was your leather dirty or hard before? Connolly products are like the Zaino for the interior. I wonder if they will make hard leather soft again?

mine was pretty beat up. it's funny beacuse i only used the hide care on the back seats and in the front used the cleaner in that picture. and it still looks good! the back actually looks and feels better in person(no shine). i will take good pics of the rear if i dont happen to reclean the fronts soon using the hide care. there's a certain spot at the top middle of my rear seat that got hard from sunlight and from the previous owner not taking care of it. i worked the product on that area really good as instructed and it came out softer. however, it is not as soft as the rest of the back seat. if i do this routinely, i'm sure it will get to the point where it's really soft again

i also did the the rear door panels and door handles

Moving to the detailing forum...

P.S. I had some success with the Lexus leather cleaner and conditioner. The car comes out looking/smelling new.
