Warm conditions are key. I use the Griots leather conditioner and I like it. But no matter which you use, my recommendation would be to treat the seats liberally with the stuff you're using, then park the car in the sun with the windows up for a half hour or so. After that, buff the surface with a clean white cotton cloth. I find that the surface will remain tacky for a day or so and then all soak in and give the leather a nice glow. I have coral red, and as stated above, you can easily tell the difference. The leather in my vert, which is obviously subjected to much harsher conditions than the coupe, was beginning to look faded and dry. After the treatment it looks great again.

BTW- Don't forget the inserts in the doors and back and the arm rests on the doors and back sides!
