I recently discovered your products when browsing a web forum for restoring damaged leather car seats, and I have a similar situation to the following: http://www.leathercleaningrestoratio...o-Leather-Seat

I have a 2004 Honda Accord EX-L, I left my window open slightly while at work and a short but brief rain storm got my leather seat wet, followed by intense sun and temperatures. In only a few hours my wet seat dried out and the surface is very hard/tight and cracked on the end of the seat. (see attached pictures).

I noticed in the forum you mention this type of damage might be repairable. I was wondering if you can tell based off my pictures what the results might be. If I get the repairing product, will it ever return to normal? What do the usual results look like from this type of repair?

What product do I need do to the actual restoring - Is it Hydrator-3.3, or something else?

>>> If I get the repairing product, will it ever return to normal?

The leather suppleness to a degree will return to original.
The crack will need to be repair.
The finish is shriveled and delaminated from the leather crust that will need refinishing.


>>> What do the usual results look like from this type of repair?

The shriveled areas when stretch back during the Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system may loose its embossed textured grain.
