Leather restoration recommendations?

[Jamesvinar]

Well my drivers seat is black on the side and left hand side of the seat, the lincoln logo is also torn apart.
Are there any recommendations to bring the color back or repair this?

Try usinga real leather cleaner like Lexol cleaner. A good technique is is a horse hair shoe polish brush and hot water with the cleaner. Get it to foam up good and scrub. Then wipe away with a rag. Then give it few applications of a good leather cream. Don't expect restoration like results. If the leather is smoothed out, cracking, hard, etc it will not come back to like new condition.

I had a seat where the cracks showed white. I went to a Tandy Leather store, and they sold me some paint. They said dye wouldn't dry. 4 little jars and I mixed it to match color. Did all the white cracks, and all the other stuff, cleaner, conditioner, etc. Came out nice, and still looks good

Paint wouldn't work for drivers seat ha ha. I found a local upholster that made a new seat from scratch. He gave me the panel for the logo, and marked where the logo goes. Found a gal that did the logo, and he built the seat. looks OEM.
