Did it do a good job of hiding the wrinkles?
As this car was already 11 years old with 2 previous owners when I got it, the bolster on the driver's side was noticeably scuffed and worn. That wear is now totally gone with this process, but the wrinkles that come with use on almost every leather interior won't go away with a process like this or similar. My other daily driver shows zero scuffing or wear on the bolsters (they aren't as pronounced as those on the Crossfire seats so it's not as much of an issue with that car) but there is noticeable wrinkling of the leather on that car. More so on the slight bolsters of the seat cushion than those on the seat back, but they are definitely more pronounced than what I see on the seldom used passenger seat.
But if your side bolsters are badly worn and scuffed, like these Crossfire seats were, this process with correct that whether you do a color change or not.
