Great job Carver. Those seats are sparkling clean. I used Leatherique over the summer on the 450h. Temps were in the 90s. It only took a few hours to soak in.

I have noticed that the driver seat leather is starting to show some wear... I guess I need to get some cleaning and conditioning going. I am still amazed how good the leather looks on my RX with 121K on the clock.

Carver can we do this without the 3 day setting? Is there a 12hr way?

Apparently Anita did a few hour treatment. She didn't say what her results were though. Three days in the heat is optimal to give it time to soak in as much as it's going to but I guess a few hours is better than nothing. Maybe a one day treatment three times a year would work.

It will clean your leather. If the leather is cracked or the color is worn off it isn't going to change that. You'll just have clean cracks and bald spots.

There's not a human alive that can resist sticking a hand in the bag to free some of those golden sticks of joy on the way home!

^^ I agree with you there Carver. I wonder why I eat that junk sometimes.

The weather was optimal, upper 90s, with the RX sitting in the sun. I'm sure temps inside were much warmer with black interior. I liked the results and wanted to do it again but never got around to it.

Maybe not in Dallas but this is a different part of Texas... Weather is only one of the many panhandle differences... Could be 90 degrees one day and 20 degrees with white out conditions the next... Makes dressing the kids for school difficult . LOL

I believe ya'. I was just thinking about the snow piled at the end of my driveway last winter. It was above the roof of the RX.

Glad we retreated from the east coast three years ago... It has either been raining or snowing back there since we left...LOL
