Better alert the rest of the family at home that if they hear you making vroom, vroom motor noises while sitting at your desk, that nothing is really wrong, you are simply thinking of driving your ZR-1!


Seriously though, enjoy it! Very good use for that seat!!!

Thanks Marty! Mine do not look so nice right now. [emoji39]

I have to put mine back out in the sun again when I get home from work to let the rejuvenator ?steam? and permeate the leather.

Charlie,

As promised here are the photos after dye and conditioning with your recommended products. I owe you a few beers when we meet. This stuff is amazing and my 26 year old seats look and feel better than new now. The leather was a little hard and now softened. I bet another rejuvenator treatment would really soften it up when the sun comes back to this island. These product go a long way. Thanks again for the tips and tricks! 🤙🏼

Big thanks to you Charlie! I greatly appreciate it and I am glad I posted my project on here. I had no intentions or know how to restore it like this. [emoji1303]🤙🏼
