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.
Mike - Interior really looks nice! Sorta reminds me of the 2005 M-B SLK 350 Launch Edition. M-B made approximately 1500 of this special introductory version. Interior was tan leather - seats & door panels.
