Hi there, i'm getting to the end of my restoration project and now looking
at getting started on the seats.
I'll take some better close up photos later today as these don't show up the
areas that have cracks etc very well.
Look forward to getting your input

You will know if those dark lines are actually cracks or accumulated filled up soiling only until after a restorative cleaning as shown in this example:
#1 Prep-7.7 is applied.

Some better photos after cleaning showing the areas i was on about.
I bought some grey leather dye and went over one of the areas and its made
no difference what so ever.

Would you like to discuss how Kit-Ap7.cl would help?
Grey is a mix of Black and White and the shade is determine by its ratio, a third color Ochre would add extra hue to it.

Upsized from 60ml to 120ml are the following products: Adhesor-73, Pigment-64 and PigTop-54M.
Leather DoctorŽ Kit-Ap7.cl, auto pigmented (perforated) leather color refinishing kit is design for abrasion damages especially from friction rubs while getting in and out of seat. Most of these repairs may range from missing finishes to abrading damages into the leather structure. Some expose areas may be contaminated with foreign soiling that includes conditioners, protectors, body oil, grease and sweat or alkaline overexposure with all-purpose cleaners. A comprehensive repair for a long-term lasting solution will require a holistic approach to deal with both the exposed structure and surface finishes. The practical and functional softness and strength of the leather depends on the health of the structure with average thickness between 0.9 to 1.2mm from stiffness and cracking. The aesthetic aspect of the leather finishes averages 0.02mm (or 20 micron) in thickness for practical compressing and flexing from cracking. A preview of a leather-safe restoration system begins by stripping with Stripper-2.3 and rinsing with Rinse-3.0. Degreasing with Degreaser-2.2 follows with Acidifier-2.0. The suffix numbers of these four products denotes it pH value for recharging the protein fiber ionic positive besides the act of decontamination. The leather integrity is revitalized once the ionic attraction between the positive protein fiber and its negative leather constituents like the tanning agent and fatliquor (fat, oil and water) is activated. Leather rejuvenating system for softness and strength is accomplished with Hydrator-3.3 follows with Fatliquor-5.0. Structural weakness from overstretching is re-strengthened with Impregnator-26, while surface uneven absorption is sealed with Adhesor-73. These repair and auxiliary products where necessary reduces the need for color over-coating thus increase its flexibility and stretchability from premature cracking. Protector-B+ imparts a non-stick rub-resistant surface with a buttery feel, reduces noises that translate into less friction wear. As the leather surface is well lubricated it reduces compression when comes to heavy body contact thus reduces compressed creases and wrinkles.
