It looks great! Never thought you can change the color and still get such a good result.

I have been wanting to refinish my seats (especially the driver side) for a long time. See pictures. I got a 32oz bottle of the Leatherique dye (0521 Light Sand) from the previous owner. He also gave me a seat cushion that he ordered but never got around installing it.

I plan to replace the seat cushion before refinishing the leather -- or should I do the reverse? Do I need the Prestine Clean, Rejuvenator Oil and Prepping Agent if I am not changing the color? There are no cracks nor peeling, it looks a little on the dirty side and a little worn. I wonder if I can just give it a deep cleaning and defer the dyeing to a later time.

Also, is there any instructions on replacing the cushion. I guess the hardest part is removing and reinstalling the leather cover.

Thanks, --David
