Question Leather seats care

Does roadster owners have had experience with Leatherique and could give me some advice?

Ah ah... actually the satellite gray leather isn't that bad to maintain other than typical leather wear.
Thanks for the additional suggestion.

I would still like to confirm if I could use Leatherique on those mini seats...

I'm going to test one of the headrest and see what happens...
This way I can still drive the car while testing

Quick update. I tried on one of the headrest and though it didn't do any arm I don't think the rejuvenating part was a stellar result.
I left the product sit for two days with some sun and some indoor time.
The product never really fully absorbed. Its hard to tell if some dried out or absorbed. If it did absorb maybe 20-30% at most got absorbed.

Here is a few pictures. The top is the headrest with the treatment and cleaned. The bottom the other headrest untouched after 6 years. It's cleaner but not all that obvious.
It suppose to be more supple but frankly it's hard to tell the difference which tells me it didn't truly absorbed.
I don know I will use it on the rest of the seats. It seems more trouble than it's worth...

Rejuvinator after two days.
