My w111 220SEB still has a lot of original nice leather pieces left. Unfortunately they are dry and need re-coloring:
Any recommendations on this topic?
1. Do you know of any good dyes for the Mercedes in dark blue? (Currently light blue)
2. How would you recondition the leather to make it soft? (I heard that oil based products should not be used? What is the alternative?)
Thanks,

Several of us have had HORRIBLE experiences with Leatherique on Mercedes leather of this era and were directly lied to about it by the Leatherique owner. I absolutely destroyed an interior in a '67 250SE. Now whether anything would have improved the leather, I don't know, but the reaction with leatherique was dramatic.
While I've very successfully used Leatherique on other leathers, I would absolutely NOT use it on Mercedes leather of this era (and due to the dishonesty of the owner I won't be using it elsewhere again either)
My 4.5 has cognac leather and the Leatherique products started to remove the color. I am using Apple Leather Care to condition the seats with no ill effects.
