Default Leatherique input needed!

Hello all, I just got my leatherique in the mail today, upon reading reviews, this seems by far the best, before and after pics are unbelievable. has anyone had experience with this product? my question is whether you need the sun or not for it to work most effectively. forecast is very hot and humid this week but will be overcast with no sun. just wondering if its just the heat or if you need sunlight. also wondering if anyones used it with success on their GS because ive heard our leather is coated with something.

If you are doing the rejuvenating oil and prestige clean no sun is fine.Make sure you massage the oil into the seats good about 4 oz a seat is what they say.just make sure the seats don't become dry .The heat is what does the work I did mine on an overcast days?I had to use my car heat because it was only 73..Remember the longer you let this set in the seats the better the result. I left mine on for 4 day and the seats where unreal how soft they became.Are you drying the seats?

Are you supposed to dry them? I figured I'd turn the car heat on for a while and then let it sit all day should be high 80s low 90s and humid up here in Minnesota, try and get a full 24 hours in. Hoping it works well might post before and after pics if I can figure out how to do that on here

I did it on my brother's GS430 a while back, worked awesome.

Yes, if you have the ability to apply the oil and keep it in the sun, that would probably be best, but if you can't we have had great success with it using it indoors just even letting the oil sit for an hour, it does miracles.

You should be ok. Just remember the better you prep it the better the results.

Default Leatherique results

Finally got my leatherique and used it, after lettting it sit for 24 hours i used the pristine clean and wow what a difference this stuff makes, i would highly reccomend to anyone looking to restore their seats. besides the bigger creases my seats literally look brand new, during the process numerous times it seemed to be making my seats worse but after all was said and done they turned out great, but with black seats its a little harder to tell.
