I used the leather repair kits from leatherrepairkits.com on my seats in my 1992 SC400. My seats were in terrible condition so I had my doubts but it turned out incredible. The seats look almost brand new. look at the second page of my sounddomain website for pictures of the leather repair

But do the repaired sections feel like leather?

I ordered this stuff for my door trim and wifes car.

It is a great match in color, but texture and feel is vinyl.

It is simple to apply on roughed up parts of the leather, but tears and dents are difficult to get flat again.

Overall, I think this is more a quick fix to sell it, than a long term answer. I would fear scrubing that stuff to clean the seats again.
