my leather conditioner

finaly came today, well i did it in as warm as i could get in the garage with the heater on. winter time here so i was goin wait but the seats looked bad so i did it. anyways I did as the bottle said to use a towel, and whipe till it soaks in, well this was takin forever so i did what i read on here i used my hands, worked much better, but on my front seats it seemed like it turned black, I duno know if this is just cause the leather got wet with the conditioner or what. Seemed like wherever it was white with cracks turned to black but I figured cause it was wet, so Ill go check it here in a few mins and see if it turned back, I think its really helped tho, they feel so soft and hopefully will look better to. also got the king ranch magizine with my conditioner, wow spendy stuff in there but it all looks real nice.

racin, I did mine with the same conditioner .The only problem was the outer drivers bottom piece lost any shine ,the black went away in time but no shine is left . The rest of the seats look great. I tried to clean the steering wheel with a hot cloth cleaning and the wheel looks so terrible that I am going to have to replace it.It looked better slightly dirty than now.

Aniline leather really doesn' thave any 'gloss' to it... *shrugs*

The darkness will fade as the emollients and other oils dissipate. It's very normal for the leather to temporarily darken when conditioned.
