I haven't tried the CPR yet but the comment about it NOT darkening the leather tells me maybe I won't. The problem with my seats is the fronts are about 5 shades lighter than the rears due I suspect to sun.

After about 9 months of neglect I did two back to back drenchings with 4-way (bought a gallon last summer) and they are looking pretty good now but still a few shades lighter than the rears.

Any tips on getting the original color back?

 

I too love the Leather CPR - use it on my shoes, KR, purses.......easy to apply and makes the leather so soft!!

 

if you put enough coats, it will darken it slightly..

 

First let me say that this post means nothing without pics, since its overcast today, I will not post them until we can get some sun here in Texas.

I just purchased a 06 KR from some guy in Corpus Christi Texas. The driver and passenger seat were very faded and discolored. The salesman at ford said I could buy a bottle of King Ranch Leater conditioner at the parts dept. I picked up Two bottles. First bottle gone, leather soaked it up like nothing. 1/2 of the Second bottle seemed to do the trick, but several weeks later, the leather went back to its dried faded look. Man, I do love that smell. After researching this site, I decided to try the Leather CPR. All I can say is WOW.
I almost got into several accidents because I cant keep my eyes on the road, I would catch myself looking at my passenger seat. It took several application, but a little goes along way. The Leather CPR brought back the leather's color and softness. Once done with the leater cpr I used the King Rach Conditioner. It looks 85% better than before. I am a believer and will cont to use Leater CPR. Will post pics later. Thank You to all the guys that did posted and researched the products.

It should be noted, that my seats didnt seem dirty or stained, so I just followed the direction on the bottle and used a sponge.
