        Nice work, indeed! What did you use on the front passenger seat that had all the cracking and discoloration?

          thanx for the compliments

          micheal, well its a cushion spray which is for repairing leather, mixed locally from the paint shop
          i wouldn;t say the result is 100% like never happened b4 for using such product, but it is good enough to cover the white cracks
