from what ive read and heard leatherique is the real deal, if done properly its not impossible for it to last as long as OEM, especially if you apply it to seats and are in decent condition to begin with, no cracks, rips etc...

As some of you may know that follow my build thread, i had my seats redone in 2009. Redye process works but the crack filler did not hold up on cracks that were all the way trough. If your seats are just faded go for it, it works. If your seats are cracked you will need to rewrap them. Overall for me it was a huge waste of money/time. I ended up gettting my sets rewraped with a katzkin kit for under 1100. I wasted over 300 and 3 days of my life on the leatherique just to rip it out.

I have always had great results with Leatherique products. If your leather is split, crack filler WILL NOT mend the two together. Crack filler is for filling in, NOT mending split leather. Big difference.
