This is going to be a basic review of my use in restoring/refinishing my leather seats in:

2005 King Ranch and an 2000 Audi. the leather in the k/r is aniline type and the audi is pigment (semi-aniline) so they require slightly different products/ procedures.

the basic steps i plan on for the k/r is:

1. prep using leather prep 4.4 let dwell.

2. extract suspended soiling with Cleaner-3.8

3. Then rinse until towel shows clean to with Rinse-3.0.

4. hydrate with hydrator-3.3 let dwell.

5. follow with fatliquor-5.0 let dwell.

6. let dry then apply new topcoat.

7. treat with leather scent-w



the audi's basic procedure will be:

note: passengers seat base is very dried out and appears to have shrunk (notice the rough texturing of the leather and lack of pleats) and is very stiff, cardboard like stiffness.

1. prep using leather prep 7.7 let dwell.

2. extract suspended soiling with Cleaner-3.8

3. Then rinse until towel shows clean to with Rinse-3.0.

4. hydrate with hydrator-3.3 let dwell.

5. follow with fatliquor-5.0 let dwell.

6. let dry then apply new topcoat micrograin-72s.

7. treat with leather scent-b

Your King Ranch restoration process with your choice system is adequate to produce a new like condition including eliminating all those scratches and wear by the safety belt especially at the right bottom back cushion. With lack of surface lubrication the driver seat is over-stretched...this will be improved and corrected with hydrating and fatliquoring...thereafter with leather scent-W with routine application will reduce this phenomena.





For your Audi...the missing link is the custom matching Pigment Micro-54...it is highly recommended to produce a more pleasing appearance...as it has wear down thin with cracks and scratches.



A leather impregnator is recommended to strengthen the over-stretched and weaken leather structure especially the driver left bottom seat to withstand further stressing to this area.



An adhesion coating is also recommended to those body contact areas.



So these recommended addition should be in this sequence - Impregnating > Adhesion Coating > Color Coating > Top Coating > Non-Stick, Rub-Resistant Protection.
