right now these are the only pics i have as i have not received the seats yet, they are currently on their way to me. they are in pretty decent shape, but not perfect obviously. i stole them for $225 off ebay so im not expecting them to be flawless. there is one minor tear in the pass side but no biggie.

i did some searching around the forum and the majority of the recommendations were z9/z10, leatherique combo, and griot's. some said the zaino dried out the leather, and the leatherique can be overkill for some. however ive heard nothing wrong with the griot's, it does everything it is supposed to etc. looking at my pics, what do you guys recommend i order so that i can get these back to looking as new as i can? im not exactly sure on the process either. i was going to go with this to start, Griot's Garage 1-800-345-5789 - Car Care

what else is it that i need to restore? this is just a protectant after they are already nice, correct? thanks guys.
 
Congrats on the new pink seats. :)



First time I have ever heard of Z9/10 drying out seats.



I use Leatherique once a year and maintain with Z9/10. Never had any drying out and for sure the leatherique is not overkill.
 
leatherique user here, its the best stuff ive found , oil em up and let em sit in the heat for a week if you can , its the only product ive found that actualy does soften the leather
 
since they wont be in the car yet, should i leave them out n the sun before, during, or after applying the cleaner ? or all three? wether its soft isnt really a priority i just want it looking brand new again, whats best for that?
 
i would leave them out of the car and let leatherique oil soak in for as long as possible...put plenty of oil on the cover the seat with a trash bag, that way its not messy to carry around , i would stand them in the sun during the day and leave the oil on for at least a week, check every few days for spots where its sucked it all in
