I've never used those products. If you don't get a good answer here, post the same question in the detailing section of this forum - somebody will help you out.

I've read a lot of good things, but haven't tried them yet. So I'm subscribing.

I remember this product from when I had M3. From what I recall it was a great product and one member on m3f did a before and after and his leather looked amazing after he applied the leatherique

I've had good luck w/ something very un-exotic: Meguiare's Leather Cleaner
http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20639

I've used it on the wifey's Volvo several times, on some leather recliners in the house and on the Merc once or twice. It cleans nicely, leaves a deep subtle sheen (nothing too shiny like Armor All, though), applies easily, and lasts an acceptable amount of time. Also it leaves the leather feeling a little more slick. You slide on and off the chair more easily. I think it's what Mercedes uses for the product they sell, but I can't remember how I came across that info.

Back in 1997 I tried leatherique on my 93 and 98 GS and it didn't do much except make the leather sticky.

I had these cars sit in the heat for a couple of days after application and nothing

Once your leather is dried and cracked I don't think it can be rejuvenated.

I've used both RO and PC, and find them to work pretty well on AMG Nappa leather. When applying the RO, try to ensure the cabin is warm (even run seat-heaters if applicable). If the seats are still extremely tacky after the PC application, maybe try a second PC cleaning later on?

Use the pristine clean generously. If your leather is in good shape, the results will not be as magnified. I have been using this stuff for a while and the results are what I expect; stock look and feel just like day 1.

It definitely seems like there is a specific process to applying both. I read a good article on detailed image's website about it awhile back. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Did you wipe the pristine clean film off with a soft cloth properly? I have never had problems with this combo.

I usually first wipe it off w/a dry towel, then with a slightly dampened towel.

What the heck is wet-tower? And this combo never works for me unless it's hot outside/inside. Usually I put the conditioner on rubbing it in real well like "it rubs the lotion on the skin". Then close the windows and leave the car outside in the sun for 2 days, then wipe the conditioning oil off, clean it with the cleaner, and wipe that out.
