Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Noting much to see , yet, though aiming to bring the nicely worn in Boxster seats back to brightness over the next 2 weeks.
postman just dropped off these.
dye looks hyper vibrant, though is meant to be an accurate colour match.
considering also to re dye the carpet. As the salmon brasserie pink , doesn’t seem quite right
Looking forward to seeing your results ,,,I have read and watched you tube video showing great things with the leatherique products .
I swear by the cleaner and conditioner products on good leather ..
But Will be interested to see if you can get the same results as you tube videos, will the state of those seats .......good luck with it
They have std OEM colours for Porsche , BMW, Merc.
if not on the list, you send them a small section of upholstery , say from under the seat and they colour match
97 Boxster = Boxster Red.
Besides, there’s a colour code you can use or, if you have no idea and/or concerned, you send in a sample of upholstery.
Like a paint company, they will colour match.
Making a start
located some skins and a seat from a Boxster with less than 10,000kms.
Absolutely mucky and dry.
First step is to use the the Rejuvenator Oil.
Liberally applied and likely needing more than one application.
In between applications,put in a plastic bag and leave in the sun and or warm with hair dryer to sweat.
According to instructions, leather pores will open and dirt grime will sweat out.
once this step completed then use Pristine Clean.
I’ll also be doing the full 4 step treatment on the original seats.

dye.
first light coat
If the above arched piece (inserts) cannot be refinished to appropriate std. will upholster in a fine red/blk houndstooth.
Compared to how they were - these have come up a treat!
You'll be happy with leatherique. I used the dab with sponge method and it held together quite well. Mind you it did feel strange waxing the seats, but hey...instructions are instructions
Waxing the seats? I’ve not found those instructions. ?
im also dabbing/blotting the product particularly where the heavier staining is present and that I was unable to or, decided to not sand out
all an experiment , though will keep building up the colour depth to see how much I can get a flat, colour consistent surface
just applied 3 coat
though beginning to think they mixed an early 996 red
🤔
🤔

🤔
however surface colour is becoming solid with the discolouration and patchiness from sanding evening out
That looks really good michel - another couple of coats and I think the staining will be virtually invisible.
Once the leather is stretched over the cushion & its mounted on the seats, I'll bet you will not be able to see it. Well Done.
