I am shopping for some options with regards to rejuvenating the leather interior in my car. The car has true Convt D leather door panels and leather Speedster buckets. There are some, but not too many worn spots and the more I condition them the better they look. I do however want to make them go away or hide them a little more.

Has any one ever tried dying their leather, or having it done by a trim shop? If so, how were your results and what did you use?

My brother had an upholstery shop many years back. We used the SEM line of products. They have some newer stuff since I last did it, but their "classic coat" products should allow you to do it yourself in your garage. It is very simple, spray and go type application. You first clean the surface, spray on a prep agent, then spray on the dye.

Chris,
I am a leatherworker by trade (www.pvsaddleshop.com) and if you really want to dye your leather seats I recommend using Feibing's Pro-oil dye. It is alcohol based and dries instantly. You must deglaze the seats first then apply the dye then apply a finish (I suggest Farnam's Leather New} and you will be very satisfied with the results. For general leather treatment try Leather Therapy. All of these products can be found on the internet at www.tlf.com and www.hidecrafter.com or search for them on Google. Need more help? Contact me directly at my email.
