Leatherique on C43 Two-Tone Interior

Just completed the Leatherique process on my C43 and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I applied the Rejuvenator Oil and allowed it to sit for 24 hours. Followed the instructions and then applied the Pristine Clean, followed by the warm water & dry buff.

And after.. Sorry if the pictures aren't the greatest. All-in-all, Leatherique has richened the interior, softened and cleaned the leather & dash.

I did try it on the steering wheel, however it is still in bad condition. Refinishing it is definitely on my to-do list. The scent returned to a more natural smell, but it's not overwhelming by any means. Cleaned up the scent of the previous owners. It softened the leather a good amount as well. However, I do not think the product was able to completely do it's job, as I applied it in the garage at 50°F. I wrapped the seats and attempted to warm the ambient temperature inside the vehicle with a blow dryer. I was too anxious to wait for summer, but come summer I will reapply.

did you treat your seats inside a heated garage or did you do it outside the garage?
applying conditioner when it's cold outside, i dunno if it''s a guud idea?
leather might get wet from humid air

The seats were treated inside a heated garage. Also warmed them up with the blow dryer and used the seat heaters prior to applying. Throughout the process, I left the blow dryer running in the car (periodically shutting it off). I didn't have a thermometer in the vehicle, but it was at least 75-80°F for 24 hours.
