Default Anyone used this stuff?

Hey guys,
First of all I love this forum, you guys are informative and post things that are a pleasure to read...
I was wondering if anyone has tried this for their interior. My car isn't that bad at all, but I am perfectionist, and would like it perfect. Should I leave well enough alone, or do you this this stuff is worth a try...
Thanks in advance!

My experience with dye is that it rubs off relatively soon and becomes dirty looking.
In future, I will give the leather a good clean, a leather oil treatment and enjoy the patina!
On my wife's Volvo I covered the entire rotten seat surface with a deerskin piece. Looks and feels very nice. Tones in too.

I bought some for my steering wheel, but haven't tried it yet. The testimonials on their site, the fact that they are recommended by Rolls Royce and maybe Jaguar are pretty convincing. I got the stuff fast. I am easy on the interior. Also bought their leather conditioner, which is supposed to preserve it. Supposed to impart Connelly smell. Strong smell of tannery like a shoe repair shop when I smell it. Will post after trying it.
