Leather very hard
Ok, so I bought the car as a CPO. The previous owner must have parked this car in the sun 24hrs a day (the pana prob doesn't help) and the leather is very hard.
After much searching (here and on web) I have decided to ordered the Leatherique 2 stage restore kit. I was hoping to see if anyone had any extra pointers or experience;this stuff cost $60 for only 16oz, so trial and error can become expensive....
Also the Burl Walnut wood is fading. The shifter bezel and wood wheel are new, and appear to be a couple shaded darker. Has anyone had any success restoring the finish? New wood is too much $$ for the received gains.

Leatherique Works! read the directions first
Put the car in the sun after the oil is applied with the windows shut to heat up the seats..Then use the pristine clean
Great Product!
