Hard leather improved?
I don't know if this really works but I thought I would put it out for people to see.

Transformed my seats. They were like cardboard before treated them with Obenauf’s. Far and above, the best leather care product I’ve used.

I have used Oben. didn't put a dent in my leather so I just replaced it with the original fabric.

Obenauf’s. Works better if you do it in the sun on a hot day. Depending on your cardboardness, they might benefit from multiple applications after they just get...soaked up...The wrapping shown in the video can help, too. I think it's about trapping heat...

Did it multiple times, used a few other products where it worked best in the sun, windows closed 8 hrs. Some leather there's no going back. Will not go there again, sticking with modern stuff especially with the Speedster.

Obenhauf's
Original Sport Seats on an '88 Tagra. 125K+miles Hint: when i drive the car, i always insert a terry towel between me and seat - protects against zippers/rivets/things protruding from pockets.

I will do that with a beach towel. I used to do that with my '68 Charger.
