i am doing the same thing as richard. the only real issue is my seats have these crumpled leather that folds over itself that makes it difficult to get the dye into. we are using a toothbrush to get in the cracks then a water wet lint free rag for the dye. the white crack filler really works well but is taking several coats of dye to go over the white.
i have 3 coats on the drivers back seat part and it is looking very very nice. the bottom seat i have done one coat and the armrests one coat. before i prep the rest of the seat i wanted to see if those pieces could be saved and it looks like a resounding yes.
it is time consuming. to prepare the leather i used a green scotch bright pad in their preparation liquid and then finished off with 600 grit sandpaper. then cleaned again and let dry overnite. i am waiting about 30 minutes between dye coats and let it dry overnight after the 2nd coat.
