Re: [Chrysler300] 300F Leather Seat Color(standard)

[Kenneth Wilson <jblken@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John;  The product is great!  I first used it about 40 +years ago when 
the original inventor/owner re-sold the product.  He passed on and for 
many years the product was not available.  I think some family member 
restarted offering the product a few years ago.  I used their filler and 
dye on my '62 300 4-dr Hdt. seats and when done the leather looked like 
new.   I first used a mixture of alcohol and acetone to remove the old 
painted on factory red lacqurer paint (dye)  I olied the leather using 
their product and let set in hot sun for couple days.   I then used 
their filler to fill the leather cracks (some were major) and the sanded 
the leather seats smooth (like doing body work).  They dye is a water 
base product.

I took the seats to a Chrysler Club Meeting, for a show and tell.  Most 
could believe the seats were once cracked and torn. and were amassed ant 
the smooth leather finish.  Hard, dry deep cracked leather can be 
brought back to near show condition (not  concourse new but very 
presentable for local shows.  What I did not do but should have is spray 
a gloss or semi gloss clear coat over the final finish to give it the  
wet shine look.  The seats have held up for 3 years - abet dirty - why I 
recommend a clear sealer to seal the dye.

By the way the I did a (family every day car)  62 Sport Hdt with the 
original product, some 35-40 years ago and it still good shape for some 
15 years later when I sold it.
