Yes i am very pleased with the results. He had to fill a couple of the deeper scores in the leather and repaired a tiny half inch rip i had starting on the side of one of the bolsters. I was very happy with the work in general and if anyone in my area(St.Pete) is interested, PM me and ill give you his info. Does anyone know how long I should wait before I start conditioning it myself? Or should I call the guy that did it and ask him?
I conditioned the leather the same week I re-dyed with no ill effects. No peeling or fading in 7 months. I plan to install the armrests tomorrow, I'll post some pics of the seat as well.
Oddly enough, look what came in the mail today!

52 bucks delivered. That's for the 16oz size, I have leather furniture I put it on as well so I use an order per year. They have 8oz size if you want to just try it, that's plenty to do a car.

Here's some shots of my leather today. The dye job is seven months old now and they still look pretty good. I think my next step will be to replace the bolster on the driver's seat when it requires attention again.
And new armrests!

Thanks! The match on the armrests is perfect, I'm really impressed with the quality. The comfort is fantastic, I really hated those scrawny little OEM rests.

Silversport Leather
Anyone here with Silversport or Coach Leather? Reason I ask is that I have a 2001 Silversport and it is nowhere close to the condition you guys talk about. No pigment fade and no cracks whatsoever. I am about 180# and the driver seat edge does show a few creases but thats it. Am at 180k miles; i used to clean/pamper the first 100k miles but with marriage/kids a yearly wash/wax/clean is all my baby gets :|

Hey Jason, is that the guy that did my car? He rocks if you have him come out and do it every 18 months its cheaper since its less work (no repairing rips etc) I think he told me wait a few weeks but now im not sure I would def just give him a call. Looks great! Oh you dont need the trunk cover thingy do you?

Anyone know someone who does this service in the Seattle area?
Edit: Ignore. Got my first quote, $350 per row of seats. Eek! Waiting on the ColorGlo quote.
