["Patricia Pruitt" <pruittghl@xxxxxxx>]

Paul, Allen, Matt & Eric:  I currently have a tentative sale going on the
Leatherique, but I forgot to add the $10 postage.  If my current customer
decides not to take the products, I will contact you again.  Sorry about
the postage error.

I don't know what color your seats are, but I am guessing possibly
light. Since you are not considering total restoration, I offer the
following.

I have worked on leather that is as you describe and completely
understand that it should be replaced, but sometimes a repair can yield
acceptable results for a driver class vehicle. A cheap solution would
be to concentrate your effort on the area that is bad. Visit a couple
of shoe stores, and take a look at their selection of spray shoe/purse
leather dyes. Some stores carry a wider selection than others. Find the
two colored caps that are closest match to your seat color. One should
be too light and the other too dark. Also buy the bottle of leather
preparation. With all that leather oil on there, the dye won't stick.

Remove the cushion to a comfortable place to work that is well
ventilated, clean the area you want to paint with the preparation
liquid, and then lightly spray the area with the dye, alternating
between the lighter and the darker colors, blending it with the
surrounding area, or the specific selected panel if you decide to
isolate a specific place. Its okay if the two colors don't completely
blend while wet. USE LIGHT EVEN COATS until you are satisfied with the
change.

It won't be perfect or pearlescent, and the cracking will probably
show, but the area will look better. With the discoloration less
noticeable, you may be happier with the original upholstery. If you are
really good, no one will know about it but you and possibly a very well
trained eye.

Good luck!

Paul W.

Just so everyone will know of my experience. My car has leather seats
and
the top of the rear seat had turned hard and black, as had a bit of the
top of the front seats where it was exposed to lots of sun. I applied 5
coats at different times, exactly per instructions. The result is less
black but now the cracks show and the leather is still hard. I had
planned
to use the proper dye and ordered that as well. My leather never got to
where I would bother dying it...and a very complicated process that I
did
not want to endure. I returned the dye unopened. Anyone else might well
have a different experience, but this was mine and I have decided to use
Lexol and live with the black...it is not that noticeable and my car is
a
driver.

Last summer I purchased online, Leatherique?s Product Pristine Clean
and Rejuvenator Oil for my ?62 Imperial.  I paid $55 plus about $10
shipping and handling.  It did not do what I needed for my particular
situation.  I only used about a quarter of it and would like to sell
the rest of it complete with full instructions to anyone interested. I
just hate to throw it out if someone really likes the stuff. How does
$25 sound?  A personal check or PayPal works fine.
