Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Pictures, was: Leather Seat Reconditioning

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Thanks.  The Leatherique process is valid but the color is wrong - and we've 
tried three different formulations!  I'll do all the same prep but use the SEM 
finish called Pacific Blue or Shadow Blue.  See attached color chart.

Yes, I have the window winder plugs.  Thank you.  I'm just disappointed with 
the color and will refinish them along with everything else when I get to it.
