Sport Seats

Just picked up some black sport seats, 80-84 manual, they are really not in bad shape. The knobs are all there and the recline and forward tilt seem to function well.
The leather is in descent shape, however they could use some reconditioning, maybe some black dye hear and there as well as some leather conditioning.
Question is where does a person start and what products to use?

Thanks

A number of people recommend and use leatherique.
Google them and do some reading up on the process.

I have used both products, and would definitely rank Obenauf as the best product to return hardened leather to a soft and subtle feel. Don't get me wrong Leatherique is very good, but with respect to quickly returning leather to a like new soft feel Obenauf is better.

I have tried many products, the one that I prefer is plain old Neatsfoot oil, it worked a treat on my seats and is reasonably priced and available.
Each to their own......
