Question about the leather color reconditioning

I have the dark brown leather - my side rear panels have darkened/faded quite a bit. Are there any good products to rejuvenate the color without actually dyeing. Under the trim,the brown is much lighter. I have changed the interior carpet to black and would like all the brown leather to be halfway consistent

Any thoughts.

thanks

I don't know, but it's worth a call or e-mail to them to get their opinion.

Do you know why it's blackened? Is it super dirty? Is it really dry? I thought that leather faded and got lighter....

When I used the Rejuvinator Oil and Prestine Clean, I think my seats looked a little lighter, but that's probably because they were a little dirty. The leather itself, though, was in pretty good shape.

Not sure, i have tried cleaning, leather is not too bad - definitely not treated by the previous owner over the years - Targa & Sun.

I will call tomorrow and see if those 2 products will do it or if they recommend dying.
