interesting idea. try it and post up some pics!

this sounds like a really easy thing to do. Bough my tahoe used, w/ 50k, but inside looks like as boomer said on his tahoe.." looked like a couple of coke'd up monkeys" were set loose inside. I have crackers, candy, gum hidden all over. but the seats have the same thing on them. but reading that forum, if you paint the seats and clean them down the road, will all this paint,dye come off?? and for those of us w/ tan interior, is the shale the color for the seats?

Thanks for posting this link.

My Yukon seats looked like new when I bought the truck with 25K on the clock. But they're showing some wear now. I suppose that's what the dealer used when they cleaned it up before selling it. I'd like to do it again.

Anyone here done this??

once the leather "clear coat" has been compromised the only thing you are doing is a temp fix. that stuff will wear out faster than the original leather. if you are selling it, its a good way to make it look good, but nothing will ever "fix" worn leather. the only way to do it is to start when the truck is new.

they make a clear coat for the leather after you fix it! just a thought

Once my truck comes out the shop I'm giving this a try,and I'll use the clear coat.Even if it dosn't last forever at least it will cover the cracks for awhile and then when I see them showing up I'll hit it up again.
I'll post some pix if it comes out good.
Mike did you do that 2 tone?
