What size of kit did you get and how much did it resurrect?

IIRC (it's been a while), I bought the '4 seats' version and, when I changed the car, just bought the dye/conditioner in a different colour. I think I did all the seats in the previous car and there's still plenty of everything left.

I'm sure it depends on the colour and the 'dirtyness' of your seats. I think I used a lot more of the cleaner and dye on the Platinum leather than I did on the Beige. And then age will probably be a factor too - you'll use more conditioner on very creased/cracked leather.

I think someone did a post on this ages ago, on a black interior. But it is good stuff - I'm really pleased with the result. It just looks really clean and natural - no hint of a painted look.

Sergey, your seats aren't the same colour as Jim's. Be careful...

Are you saying that Audi did two versions of Platinum grey colour in 2002?

Do you want me to check the colour codes to see if they match your, Sergey?

Either that, or one of yours isn't platinum. Both need to check colour codes, I could be wrong, but don't think I am. Sergey, order off the colour code from your build sticker.

Interior codes may be different as interior code doesn't mean just a leather colour, but the whole interior combination. My interior code is WF, which may be different from final edition interior codes.

Is there a PR code just for leather colour?
