My comments
Their website talks about different prep methods. I used simple green
Be sure to do the proper prep & ensure leather is dry before applying
My applicator was a polyester cloth. I tried a basic kitchen sponge too, but product clogged up and streaked
When applying, do it in the shade. Product lays down best when flash is 10-15 minutes, keeping the streaks to a minimum. I applied a coat that flashed in 3 minutes (sunshine), leaving streaks.
They sell a sealer too but is not required, per their website, . The product I used seems to be a bit of all in one. Has been on 3 weeks and so far so good. I only wipe it down with a damp towel to keep clean
We see how it goes with the Southern California heat and suntan lotion....

Also, I did not buff, polish or put any conditioner on the leather after the seat doctor treatment. What's shown in the photos is how it looked after drying/cured
The product seems more like a dye, paint, polish all in one.
Wow, nice. I hope it holds up. I put some kind of leather conditioner on mine which did almost nothing except to highlight the cracks but that product is at another level.
Looks good. RE: sealant - you can get an excellent sealant cheap at Michael’s, etc. “Leather Sheen.” About $6 and a small bottle will do a whole car interior two or three times. I usually put some on once a year or two.
I made a post elsewhere about seat, leather, etc. repair. It’s mainly on a couple of our volvos, but down lower are pics of our 2002 ES where I re-did the front seats and center cover. May be of use to some people. I didn’t design it as a proper “how to” - it was an evolving conversation so I apologize it’s not as succinct as it could be.
